See https://www.unix.com/unix-advanced-ex...ts-larger.html for the general idea with -fn.
Since you want the xterm on a remote display you need to find the fonts on the remote machine with
Code:
xlsfonts -display remotews:0.0

Note that xlsfonts will probably give you a huge list so pipe the output through a pager.

In xterm -display remotews:0.0 &, the argument to -display is the hostname, display number and screen number on which to show the X-window. This should match the DISPLAY environment variable on the remote machine. To set the position of the xterm on the screen you would use the -geometry flag. The & makes the command run in the background; you would have this at the end of your command.

NAME
lxterm - locale-sensitive wrapper for xterm SYNOPSIS
lxterm [ xterm-options ] DESCRIPTION
lxterm is a wrapper around the xterm(1) program that invokes xterm, koi8rxterm(1), or uxterm(1) as appropriate, based on the user's locale setting. All arguments to lxterm are passed to xterm without processing; the -class, -k8, and -u8 options should not be specified because they are used by koi8rxterm and uxterm. See the xterm manual page for more information on xterm-options. The locale(1) utility is used to determine the character set used by the current locale. If the character set is UTF-8, uxterm is invoked; if the character set is KOI8-R, koi8rxtem is invoked; otherwise, 'plain' xterm is invoked. AUTHOR
