[SOLVED] urxvt terminus font

I've installed  terminus-font package and want to use it for urxvt. (don't want to use xft fonts)
Could you help me with .Xresources config file? It seems I don't understand what name should I use on this line
urxvt*font:
A font I want to use must be 13-14 size and good for vim.

Re: [SOLVED] urxvt terminus font

What have you tried?  You can use a program like xfontsel (from extra/xorg-xfontsel) to get the XLFD string, or just grab one from /usr/share/fonts/local/fonts.dir.

Re: [SOLVED] urxvt terminus font

Thank you very much. Didn't know about this tool.
I picked -*-terminus-bold-*-*-*-18-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*
Quite good font.

Thanks!

I also have found dina-font package.
Tried  -*-dina-medium-r-*--13-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-* and it is really good too.
So if someone wants to use terminus try also dina. It's worth your attention.

We have a nice wiki which lists terminus, dina and a few other fonts: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fonts#Bitmap
