Making xterm beautiful

I thought it was not possible. I was pleasantly surprised to be proved wrong.

Do the following steps.

sudo aptitude install ttf-inconsolata

Open your .Xresources file and type


XTerm*faceName: Inconsolata
XTerm*faceSize: 16


Do an

xrdb -merge .Xresources

Thanks to levin, this answered my question on "What's there in a font and why are so many of them?" very well.
