giving eXcursion Apps another font to start with

Dear tru(e) 64 managers (there are certainly more than that out there),

we are looking for a possibility to start e.g. xterm as an eXcursion 3.0
application using a non default font (i.e. other that "fixed", which is
not capable of dealing with umlauts) and are facing the following
problems:

A natural choice would be to define an eXcursion app like this one:

/usr/bin/X11/xterm -fn -adobe-*-medium-r-*-*-14-720-0-*-m-*-iso8859-1
-sb -sl 255 -ls -ti HOSTNAME

Unfortunately this will end with a GPF:

LAUNCH verursachte einen Fehler durch eine ungültige Seite

We tried to define the font via .Xdefaults or via
/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults, but to no avail.

Any help is very much appreciated.
