I figured out that it works with -fn this way:

$ fgrep BY /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType/fonts.dir 
DruckschriftBayern.ttf -misc-Druckschrift BY WOK-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-ascii-0
DruckschriftBayern.ttf -misc-Druckschrift BY WOK-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1
$ xterm -fn '-misc-Druckschrift BY WOK-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1'
$ urxvt -fn '-misc-Druckschrift BY WOK-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1'

using -fa (thanks for your hint) I can use as well:

$ xterm -fa 'Druckschrift BY WOK'

Thanks
