I'm wondering about the default font that is used in xterm. I want to know which font it is set to by default, as I'm interested in customizing my terminal and would like to use a similar or the same font for consistency.

The alias "fixed" serves as the standard font choice for xterm windows.

An alternative font, Twelve-point Helvetica bold roman, carries the alias "variable."

One notable example is the titlebar that twm, a window manager, applies to windows.

By default, the "variable" alias ensures a consistent appearance for these titlebars.
