addison, he's saying that you will need to create a directory named .fonts before you copy the font file into it. to do this, you type: mkdir /home/user/.fonts

Ok, I got excited when I stumbled on this thread. "Cool, custom font in XTerm!"
But then I went and (re-)checked my OS2008 XTerm, and yep, just like I remembered, you get to choose between "Monospace," "Sans," and "Serif". Doesn't matter what fonts you have installed.
What am I missing here?

Addison,
What rcull is saying is that you have to open an xterminal session and type:
cd /
mkdir /home/user/.fonts
And then, copy the terminus font, like this:
cp /media/mmc2/TerminusRes33-Bold.ttf /home/user/.fonts
Okay?

Okay?

Addison has got his fonts directory set up, he said so two posts ago. But what about my question? How do you choose your new font in XTerm? Do I have to install a different version than the one that comes with OS2008? Do I edit a text file? What?

It just sounds like the fonts you've added haven't added to the system font list yet. I forget the command to do it off hand, but a reboot will rebuild the list also
I'm lazy, so I've just been adding adding things to /usr/share/fonts and rebooting.FWIW I like to use "Consolas" on the desktop and n810. Very easy on the eyes for long days of coding IMO.

I figured it out, I think. I have my many, many fonts in a "fonts" folder on my SD card. I then soft linked (ln -s) my /home/user/.fonts directory to the SD card's font directory. This works for Maemopad+, which is the only place I normally change fonts, but it seems that OSSO XTerm doesn't like something about it. Perhaps the soft link? I don't know. But space is at too much of a premium for me to copy all of my fonts to the built-in memory.
So I copied Terminus and ProFontWindows into /usr/share/fonts and rebooted, and those two appeared in XTerm's font choice menu.
Any ideas why a soft link to an SD card wouldn't work for fonts?
EDIT: Just checked leafpad, and it also finds all of my fonts on the SD card.

Since I can't get Monaco 9 to not be anti-aliased, Terminus.

I created another TrueType version which only contains bitmap data because Eric's version just didn't do the trick for me on OS X (looked really ugly). Available at:
* Terminus (normal) (http://chlamydia.fs.ei.tum.de/~corec...d/Terminus.ttf)
* Terminus (bold) (http://chlamydia.fs.ei.tum.de/~corec...rminusBold.ttf)
