You clearly need some help before making your choice and, fortunately, the system comes through for you. The command xlsfonts lists all of the fonts available on your system in both the X11 R3 naming convention and any aliases. As usual, the list tells you the names of the fonts but not what the fonts look like. To preview the fonts, you may use the xfontsel command, if it is available. The X Window System also gives you the option of selecting colors for the background, foreground, windows, and fonts.
Colors are a little simpler than fonts.
Many color terminals have 256 colors available, but the limited memory on less expensive satellite terminals, such as X terminals, limits the options to 16.
