With XTerm, the font can be set in three ways that I know of.
By setting the appropriate resource (perhaps "XTerm*vt100.font")
in your ~/.Xresources, through option "-fn" and interactively,
with [shift]-[-] and [shift]-[+]. If you know what font you
want, a wrapper script can be as simple as

#!/bin/sh
: ${font:="-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-26-190-100-100-m-159-*"}
exec xterm -fn "$font" "$@"
