You don't think that all os's have the same version of X, do you? As one example, Solaris has showfont, HP-UX does not. Another example, Solaris xterm is 6.4, HP-UX xterm is 6.3. Both have dtterm. HP-UX has hpterm I only see xterm on Redhat.
You're right, the option will only lock the window at the size you want. The only way to control character size is by specifying a font.
