Lost my fonts again.  Even though ".Xdefaults" says "8x16" the term program opens with small fonts.  However, I can use the run command to start the term with any font I want.  

So, until I learn the answer, I am starting the term that way.

Not sure what the trouble would be.  I just changed my .Xdefaults to Aterm*font: 8x16 and it worked.  Could be that .Xdefaults isn't being read for some reason, or aterm is being opened with the -fn parameter, or maybe you're trying it as a different user?

One last thought:
I right-clicked on the Aterm icon and saw "properties" which listed the command that is called when you click the icon.  Modified the command by inserting "-fn 8x16" in both the regular and superuser scripts.  Works fine now and is persistent.
Always more than one way to do things in Linux!
