You could think of xterm as having 1 fewer fonts.

But it WOULD be nice if I could have some of my xterms start up in the
TINY font, yet that NOT be the font used for the xterm menus (it uses
the Default font) and be able to specify it.

Suggestions for future xterms would be to allow resource and command line
control of what font is used for all menus and EACH menu, as well as what
font is used as the DEFAULT (different from menus).  A bigger font menu
would also be nice; better yet dynamically adjusted for however many fonts
I specify.  It should allow me to specially name them (instead of just
"small", "medium", "large", with the default names as is now, and an option
to have them named as their real font names instead.  Samples of the fonts
in the menu would also be nice.

Do I wish for a lot?  OF COURSE!
