when i run xterm -fn -bitstream-bitstream vera sans-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-9:
xterm: bad command line option "vera"

Try putting the font in quotes
Code:

xterm -fn "-bitstream-bitstream vera sans-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso8859-9"

i chose this font:
xterm -fn "-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-18-180-75-75-m-110-iso8859-9"

when i list directory with ls - directories are blue,executable files are green, tar files are red...
and they are "bold".
how to set them to normal??

all i'm trying to do is to make console font look like bitstream vera sans in firefox.
