You can get XTerm menus by holding down the Control Key and pressing buttons 1, 2 or 3.

Button 3 will give you a font selection menu, which you can customize in /usr/X11/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm

You can customize 6 fonts I think, plus the default you specified on the command line.

FVWM wouldn't have anything to do with xterm, as far as the system is concerned FVWM is just another program like xterm. It
only handles decorations for the window borders, and modules for other features. It can't normally change features of other
programs I don't think.

By the way, this has got to still be the best WM. It's still the easiest to configure. After using all the others, it's still
the only one that does everything I want. Kudos to the developers over the years and the countless hours of work they've done
to bring us something we can actually use. =)
