Some of the aliases and XLFD (full) font specifications are (as listed in the xfonts-terminus.alias file): terminus-12 -xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal-12-120-72-72-c-60-iso10646-1 On my machine, I have a terminus font-package installed. The first number in each of those (XLFD) font specifications is the point-size, making it simple to see which are larger. The Unicode fonts assumed by the uxterm script do not use aliases: *VT100.font2: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-8-80-75-75-c-50-iso10646-1

Most of the ten-thousand or so fonts (seen with xlfonts) on my system have no aliases. Here is the section of the resource-file which deals with the (non-Unicode) fonts: *fontMenu.Label: VT Fonts Xterm does not associate any particular meaning to the names on the menu. You can see this order using the default translation for shifted keypad plus and minus, which switch to larger or smaller fonts, respectively. At startup, xterm calculates the relative sizes of the bitmap fonts (which may be unrelated to the names in the menu).
