Hello.. i have a bit of a hard time, getting urxvt use a different color for intense coloring.
See this screenshot to know what i mean:
As you can see, Konsole shows a different color for intensity, where urxvt simply uses the foreground color.
Question: Can urxvt be configured to act the way konsole does? Chatting is not the same without this...

Are your color7 and color15 different in .Xdefaults?

urxvt is not using color7 for the channel names tho.. it uses the value of urxvt*foreground (according to gimp color picker)

Ok, it seems that Terminus does not allow intense colors at a size smaller than 14px - no clue what magic Konsole does there.
Anyway, this leads to me needing a font that looks sharp at 10px and allows intense colors in addition...
Recommendations? I tried Monospace and dejavu-mono but they are very blurry..

What about Monte carlo?

For crisp fonts make sure you don't set the font size in pixels, like so…
URxvt.font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:pixelsize=10
Instead do it like this…
URxvt.font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono-7
It's subtle but I have found it always gives clearer results.

You may want to try:

Andale Mono (from ttf-ms-fonts) might work as well, as the microsoft core fonts are pixel-grid optimized. You may want to turn off antialiasing for small fontsizes tho.

[OT]C'mon, Rasi, in five years w/ staring at screen 12+ hrs/day you won't need fonts smaller than 14 :-)[/OT]
Have you checked your DPI settings? (Anti)Aliasing?

Inconsolata is an ease for your eyes. This font should be used anti-alised.

hmm.. proggyfonts is quite nice, i might get used to it - but its not half as crisp as terminus sadly...
the others all are a bit blurred with and without AA, so out of question...

Try out Dina-font as well. It's very crisp,

I'd still suggest playing w/ hinting, AA etc. You should be able to do this by just adding a couple short lines to your .Xresources. Pick the font(s) closest to your expectations and give it a ride.

I got best results with these settings, although on a white background display:
URxvt*font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:antialias=true:pixelsize=11
URxvt*boldFont: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:style=bold:antialias=true:pixelsize=11
URxvt*italicFont: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:style=italic:antialias=true:pixelsize=11
URxvt*boldItalicFont: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:style=bolditalic:antialias=true:pixelsize=11
And switching to rxvt-unicode-256color from AUR did solve all my coloring problems.
To know or not to know ...
... the questions remain forever.

Where did you learn about the -NUM for font size? I just tried it and I like the results, but I didn't see it in the manpage.

Inconsolata is nice.
