   Ah, but how to I change these default fonts to what *I* want? I
   tried setting (what I think) are the appropriate resources, but no
   go :-(

I'm sure it could be specified in a prettier way, but this works fine
for me:

XTerm*fontMenu.Label:  VT Fonts
XTerm*fontMenu*fontdefault*Label:	Default
Xterm*fontMenu*fontdefault:		9x15
XTerm*fontMenu*font1*Label:	Tiny
XTerm*VT100*font1:		nil2
XTerm*fontMenu*font2*Label:	12 Point
XTerm*VT100*font2:		-*-lucidatypewriter-medium-*-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*
XTerm*fontMenu*font3*Label:	14 Point
XTerm*VT100*font3:		-*-lucidatypewriter-medium-*-*-*-*-140-*-*-*-*-*-*
XTerm*fontMenu*font4*Label:	18 Point
XTerm*VT100*font4:		-*-lucidatypewriter-medium-*-*-*-*-180-*-*-*-*-*-*
XTerm*fontMenu*fontescape*Label:	Escape Sequence
XTerm*fontMenu*fontsel*Label:		Selection
XTerm*font:			-*-lucidatypewriter-medium-*-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*

(and now for the odd part:)

XTerm*allowSendEvents:		true
XTerm*VT100.Translations:	#override \n\
	<Key>F1: 	set-vt-font(1) set-scrollbar(toggle) \n\
	<Key>F2:	set-vt-font(2) set-scrollbar(toggle) \n\
	<Key>F3:	set-vt-font(3) set-scrollbar(toggle) \n\
	<Key>F4:	set-vt-font(4) set-scrollbar(toggle) \n\
	<Key>F5:	set-scrollbar(toggle) \n\
	<Key>L7:	set-vt-font(1) set-scrollbar(toggle) keymap(unicon)

XTerm*VT100.uniconKeymap.Translations: #override \n\
	<Key>L7:	set-scrollbar(toggle) set-vt-font(2) keymap(None)

My window manager (gwm) can send key events upon request, so when I
hit a box in left end of the title stripe, the xterm window uses the
tiny font and loses its scrollbar.  It looks and feels just like the
"active icons" of yore.
