Yes, it displays the font but it does not set the font. Only the
'quit' button works.
I was asking about the result with xfd to be sure that the font itself is
recognized. I don't see anything wrong with the description of your
changes to the X resources.
Another place to check is whether there are conflicting font resources
shown, e.g., using "appres XTerm".
Beyond that, I generally just compile xterm with its debugging trace
enabled and see what resource value is actually used. It's also possible
to get the nominal value of the font using an escape sequence in a script
or program such as xtermset.

The above worked on my previous computer, but now it does not work with my

1. a) ?Added XTerm[.*]vt100.font:lucidasanstypewriter-10 to .Xdefaults

2. a) Added XTerm[.*]vt100.font:lucidasanstypewriter-10 to .Xresources

But neither one affected the xterm font.
does
? ? ? ?xfd -fn lucidasanstypewriter-10
display the font you asked for?
