"-fs" applies only if you have the other options such as "-fa" which
turn on FreeType. Otherwise it uses the font, font2, etc., resources
which generally correspond to the control/right mouse menu.
xterm can also step through the font choices when you press shifted-keypad
"-" or "+". Since patch #185, similar functionality applies to the
FreeType fonts.
