Also, I just looked and noticed that Ctrl-Right Mouse shows an option for enabling double sized characters. Do you have that, and is it enabled? CTRL-MB3 ;) shows that they are selected. Same here too with default font. Ok. The only thing I can think of is missing fonts then, and unfortunately I don't know which font xterm tries to use. I can try looking at the sources of xterm later, but it would appear your setup in most ways match mine, yet we seem to get very different results.
