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
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.

shownonascii(1) General Commands Manual shownonascii(1)NAME
shownonascii - View all or part of a mail message in a non-ASCII font
SYNOPSIS
shownonascii charset-font-name [-e command-to-execute] file-name(s)
DESCRIPTION
The shownonascii program allows data in non-ASCII character sets to be viewed under X11. By default, it will open up an xterm using the
font named in the first argument, running the "more" command to view all of the files named on the command line.
If the -e switch is used, the rest of the command line will be taken as the command to tell xterm to run instead of more.
If the MM_CHARSET environment variable is set and matches the character set named in the first argument, a new xterm window will not be
opened.
If the MM_AUXCHARSETS environment variable is set the character set named in the first argument is a subset of that string, a new xterm
window will not be opened.
