10.3: Using the Monaco font in xterm post-upgrade

This might have been a no-brainer for everybody else ... goodness knows I looked all over Google for the answer and found nothing. If you've been using xterm with the Monaco font (you know who you are), and the new Panther X11 shows that font differently, start using "MonacoCY" instead of Monaco. Not sure what the CY stands for, but in my book it stands for "now that's what I'm tolkien 'bout." It's obviously a more terminal-appropriate font (I would say it's fixed-width, but so is regular Monaco, I thought).

Even thought the text is still antialiased at larger sizes, 8 and 9 point font (which is useful for long listings like top) don't look as good as they used to.
