1-Why?

No need to reach 2 if you can't get past 1 without ignoring it altogether.

2-Xterm no good here. I've never figured out how to configure it to
use legible fonts, or a white background.

not tooo hard...
xterm -bg white -fg black

So you say. Why does it speak of VT100? Didn't they use those with mainframes back in the '60's? Has anyone here under 40 or 50 ever even seen a VT100?

and "man xtermset" will give you similar options that are storable:
excerpt:
OPTIONS
-store [<filename>]
This option will save all the other command line
options given to the filename. If filename is
omitted then the options will be written to
~/.xtermsetrc.

-bg and -fg both available here

As is usual of man pages, absent are the examples without which I get nowhere. I'm not a programmer. I don't know what fn font-spec or -font font-spec mean. Besides, I can open man pages legibly already in Konsole, so, again, why not just use Konsole?
