I think, there is no way to recognize, that the font has been changed.
At least, I cannot find any xterm control sequence to get the current
font.

You're right. But I already wrote, that the fonts should be
configurable, but I've not the time, to implement it now.
So you have the choice of implementing this feature or waiting and
meanwhile configuring the fonts by changing the source and recompiling.

My patch is in no way intended to go into CVS in its current state.
