[Solved]How do i pick a font for urxvt?

I downloaded the CaskaydiaCove fonts from here https://www.nerdfonts.com/font-downloads
I then put them into /usr/share/fonts/otf/CascadiaCode/ then i ran fc-chache.
But if i add URxvt.font: CaskaydiaCove NF to my .Xresources i cannot launch urxvt.
I ran fc-list and all the fonts seem to appear in the list.

Re: [Solved]How do i pick a font for urxvt?

xrdb -q | grep -iE 'urxvt.*font'
fc-list :mono | grep -i cascadia

You btw. probably want sth like

URxvt*font:	xft:CaskaydiaCove NF:size=9
