! actually, "mono" is already the default for faceName (it will

! faceName to trigger XTerm activating TrueType fonts
! (XTerm*fontRender by itself won't do the trick), and we want
! TrueType fonts because, well, they scale better, and XTerm lets them
! fall back on alternatives (hi there ttf-unifont) when a Unicode
