Hello,
I'm running Fedota 17 x86_64.
I have problems to set the font type to be used in XTerm from Xresources:
I edited my ~/.Xresources in order to set the font face (resource
"faceName") and size (resource "faceSize").
Here below is the output of "xrdb -query -all":

XTerm*background: #ffffff
XTerm*color0: #000000
XTerm*color1: #a31515

As you can see, I specified the "Inconsolata" font for the resource
"faceName". However, XTerm seems to ignore it (yes, the font has been
installed from Fedora repo). I have also tried with other fonts, but I
obtain the same result.
If instead I specify the font from the command line (option "-fa"), it works.
Where am I wrong?
Thank you so much for your help.
Best,
