I've tried customizing zsh's prompt with change the font but during it, xterm become not to reflect the XTerm*faceName in~/.Xresources.

Here is my dot files:

~/.xinitrc

#!/bin/sh



# /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc

#

# global xinitrc file, used by all X sessions started by xinit(startx)



# invoke global X session script

. /etc/X11/Xsession



xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xresources

exec awesome 

~/.Xresources

XTerm*termName: xterm-256color

XTerm*locale:   true

XTerm*selectToClipboard:    true

XTerm*faceName: Shure Tech Mono Nerd Font Complete

XTerm*faceSize: 12

Here is the screenshot:

Although I'd already restart vm (= restart X), the font was still old one although other elements like theme were reflected properly.

Other information:

Ubuntu 18.04 on vmware

awesomewm as a window manager

zsh as shell

The relevant font family name is ShureTechMono NF, which you can find using fc-list. Here is a screenshot.

The fc-list manual page suggests this command (: matches everything, the family parameter shows the face-family used by xterm):

fc-list : family

The xterm manual page entry for faceName also gives an example using fc-list:

fc-list :scalable=true:spacing=mono: family

Have you tried using the -fn parameter, and entering the font name using Pango notation e.g. ShureTechMono Nerd Font Regular:px=11

I've done it this way, with a different font, trial-and-error style, before I made the final entry in .Xresources. In this example, I would not use "Complete" but "Regular" as shown explicitly in the pic.
