Clicking on the Select button will make the current font name the PRIMARY
selection so that it can be pasted into another application with the middle mouse
button (Section 5.4).
To use a font by name with an application that uses core fonts, use the application??™s
command-line options:
$ xterm -font -bitstream-terminal-medium-*-*-*-18-*-*-100-c-*-iso8859-*
You can also specify the font for Xt-based applications as a resource.
10.5 Installing and Removing Fonts
Both xfs and the X server expect a font directory file named fonts.dir to be present in
each directory of fonts. This font directory is a text file that cross-references font
names to filenames.
