I also tried using the "underspecified" version:
Code:
LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 xterm -fn '-*-*-*-*-*--14-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*'

The result is the same :-/

I know of two menus I can call up with the mouse. One of them is titled "main options", and the other "VT Fonts". I use the 2nd one every now and then to change font size, e.g. when using a beamer, but it doesn't offer options for changing the font.

I have however, achieved a partial solution using
Code:
LESSCHARSET=utf-8 less UTF-8-demo.txt

in the new xterm, but there are still a lot of boxes...

lxterm(1)						      General Commands Manual							 lxterm(1)

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.
