    You can access the properties of xterm and change their configurations:

    By holding down the Control key upon your keyboard and clicking upon the body of the window with either your left, right, or center mouse button.

    So to change the the font size:

    Press the Control key with one hand, and click the right mouse button.

    A menu appears, with the following font alternatives:

    Default (fontdefault)
     Set the font  to  the  default,  i.e.,  that given by the *VT100.font resource.
Unreadable (font1)
     Set   the   font   to   that  given  by  the *VT100.font1 resource.
Tiny (font2)
     Set  the  font  to   that   given   by   the *VT100.font2 resource.
Small (font3)
     Set   the   font   to   that  given  by  the *VT100.font3 resource. 
 Medium (font4)
     Set  the  font  to   that   given   by   the *VT100.font4 resource.
Large (font5)
     Set   the   font   to   that  given  by  the *VT100.font5 resource. 
Huge (font6)
     Set  the  font  to   that   given   by   the *VT100.font6 resource.
