I was asking about the result with xfd to be sure that the font itself is 
recognized.  I don't see anything wrong with the description of your 
changes to the X resources.

Another place to check is whether there are conflicting font resources 
shown, e.g., using "appres XTerm".

Beyond that, I generally just compile xterm with its debugging trace
enabled and see what resource value is actually used.  It's also possible
to get the nominal value of the font using an escape sequence in a script
or program such as xtermset.
