[SOLVED] urxvtc ignores font options in Xdefaults

Hi

Launching urxvt using urxvtc (urxvtd running), seems ignore the font options (or do something weird with them) i put in Xdefault.

The Consolas font has huge gaps when launching the terminal using urxvtc - but launching it using "urxvt" (no c), the Consolas font looks fine.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks :-)

Xdefaults:

Xcursor*theme:  Vanilla-DMZ-AA
Xcursor.size:   22

Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.antialias: 1
Xft.rgba: rgb

Re: [SOLVED] urxvtc ignores font options in Xdefaults

'The gaps' are a known issue with rxvt.
What options does urxvtc ignore? Size?

I think if you set

Xft.hinting: 1

you don't need to add 'hinting=true'.

Well, I know about the gap issue - and I've patched urxvt, but the strange thing is: if I run urxvt command it loads the font fine, if I run urxvtc (with a c at the end), the font looks weird and gappy :x

That indeed is strange and I can confirm that behavior. The good thins is you can use urxvt and have a nice font, some other fonts have huge gaps no matter how you invoke the app :-(
