There are other possibilities that avoid to use the mouse :
- <SHIFT> + <+> (on the keypad) to increase font size on the fly
- <SHIFT> + <-> (on the keypad) to decrease font size on the fly

If these do not work, adding a "XTerm*shiftFonts : true" line in the
.Xresources/.Xdefaults file should enable them, but they should already
be enabled by default. These shortcuts work in RXVT too (and probably
with other good X terminal based on RXVT - a light XTERM).
