How to set the font-size for "xterm" terminal-emulator (running "bash" shell)

Hi all.

I have been debugging an issue, wherein the font appears large on one system, as compared to another.

I tried to figure out the difference between the two; they both appear to be identical so far ::

1.

Code:

wmctrl -m

gives "Name: Metacity" (on both)

2.

Code:

echo $TERM

gives "xterm" (on both)

3.

Code:

echo $SHELL

gives "bash" (on both)

I fail to understand where I might be go looking in for differences.
Perhaps a place where "xterm" picks up the font (at the bottom-most level)? But I do not know where it might be.

Any ideas?
I will be grateful for a reply.

Regards,
Ajay

Cant you just edit the profile that your xterm is using?
