Re: [LINUX5250] xt5250 on xterm with freetype support

[Scott Klement <klemscot@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Instead of specifying -fa, you can set faceName in your .Xresources
file (at least, it works on my copy of xterm, XFree86 4.2.0

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a corresponding escape
sequence, so I can't make tn5250 send it to Xterm...
