Actually it doesn't say _that_ ("xterm -help" lists the available options).

man xterm gives more words:

     -fa pattern
             This option sets the pattern for fonts selected from
             the FreeType library if support for that library was
             compiled  into  xterm.   This  corresponds  to   the
             faceName  resource.  When a CJK double-width font is
             specified, you also need to  turn  on  the  cjkWidth
             resource.

     -fs size
             This option sets the pointsize  for  fonts  selected
             from  the  FreeType  library  if  support  for  that
             library was compiled into xterm.   This  corresponds
             to the faceSize resource.

The "-fs" option does nothing if the "-fa" option (or "faceName" resource)
is not given.  The default uses the bitmap fonts.
