simulate text mode in X-Windows

Hi.
I need to run old full-screen text-mode application under X-Windows. (By the way it is touch-screen calibrator firmware). The screen resolution is to be 1280x1024 exactly. The program expect text-mode geometry 80x25. Running xterm (no window manager) I have adjusted the font pararameters to the wanted width, but I cannot find the font or its size to make xterm so long in height (I always had about 2.5 sm free space in the bottom).
Can anybody tell the way (switch, font ?) to make a xterm window be 1280x1024 and place 80x25 symbols?
Can I using some font editor open some font and increase a little its character height? It doesn't how ugly the font will appear.
Give me advice, please!

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. SEE ALSO
