I need to change my base font in my xterm windows since they are a bit small 
at high resolution.

I've looked through the /usr/X11R6/* directories, read through some sections 
in books, etc. and still can't find out how to do this.

I've seen mention of an .Xdefault file, but don't know where to get one or how 
to create one.

Any help appreciated.
