well... (not having that particular configuration at hand, but able
to explain): selecting UTF-8 under the VT Fonts tells xterm to do
two things:
a) switch the character-encoding from ISO-8859-1 (or whatever)
to UTF-8, which corresponds to the utf8 resource setting.
b) select the font from (unless overridden) the utf8Fonts
resources. Having a resource like "*font:fixed" would
override that, due to the wildcard.
So it might be as simple as setting the utf8 resource in .Xdefaults:
*utf8: 2
