You probably want to use "xterm.fontMenu" (instead of "XTerm") as the
former will work for both xterm(1) and uxterm(1) (which gets a class
name of "UXTerm" while keeping the application resource name of "xterm").

Depends on what the problem is! :-)
If you're using a high-resolution (high-DPI) screen then ideally you
would select scalable fonts and set the resolution values for them to
match your display's DPI. E.g. I end up with this (amongst many other
similar values) in my resources for my mac's "6k" display at 218dpi:
*font: -*-DejaVu Sans Mono-medium-r-normal--0-90-218-218-m-*-iso8859-1
See my ~/.xinitrc and ~/.Xdefaults files, as well as related files such
as ~/X11-m4macros.m4 and ~/.fonts.alias.m4:

You'll see that I like to be able to specify on-screen font sizes in
units of "points" that match as closely as possible to the physical
point size of an equivalent printed font, and that I go to quite some
lengths to do this.
BTW, if you happen to try "uxterm" you'll run into the problem that
NetBSD's build doesn't install a UXTerm-color app-defaults file, which
can cause some significant confusion. The following patch, along with a
corresponding entry in the distrib/sets/xbase/mi file should fix it:
