7: The purpose of this document is to guide you on how to make xterm use a [truetype](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrueType) font.

9: # Choose font
10:
11: First pick a font you like, from this list:
12:
13: $ fc-list | col | sort | less
14:
15:
16: Note: A nice font set is [Liberation](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberation_fonts). It can be found in `fonts/liberation-ttf`.
17:
18: # Run xterm
19:
20: Then type:
21:
22: xterm -fa 'Liberation Mono' -fs 10
23:
24:
25: # ~/.Xdefaults file
26:
27: If you want xterm to use these font settings by default, you may add the following lines in your `~/.Xdefaults` file:
28:
29: XTerm*faceName: Liberation Mono
30: XTerm*faceSize: 10
