[SOLVED]Font not loading

The terminal is stuck at monospace. I would like it to go to gohufont.
It also won't load anything for Xresources.

Re: [SOLVED]Font not loading

Does that font string work if passed on the command line?  Have you merged Xresources with xrdb?  If not urxvt is not expected to read it - urxvt reads Xdefaults not Xresources.

Re: [SOLVED]Font not loading

I struggled with the difference between .Xdefaults and .Xresources.

Urxvt will read .Xdefaults only if .Xdefaults exists.  Without any .Xdefaults file, .Xresources will be used. If there is a(n) .Xdefaults, it is read and applied for each instance of urxvt. If .Xresources is used it is read only once.  That .Xresources is read from disk only once may be a slight efficiency advantage.

@StormHF, you have a typo in the code in your first post. I think you want that 1 to be a !.

Re: [SOLVED]Font not loading

Using Xresources can be more efficient as it is not reread every time the program starts, but urxvt never reads Xresources itself unless it is specified on the command line.  I just tested and confirmed, I renamed my ~/.Xdefaults to ~/temp and urxvt no longer had any of my settings, then I moved ~/temp to ~/.Xresources, and urxvt still didn't read my settings even though there was no ~/.Xdefaults file.  If you want to use ~/.Xresources it needs to be read in by xrdb (or some other program that will merge it into the current database).

Re: [SOLVED]Font not loading

Yes, if you use .Xresources, and not .Xdefaults, the changed urxvt resource settings have to be sent to the XA_RESOURCE_MANAGER using the xrdb -load or xrdb -merge commands.  The point I had hoped to make is that you either set urxvt resources with one or the other, not both.

Sidebar:
I actually configure urxvt using a .urxvt file. My .Xresources picks this file up with the line, # include ".urxvt". I find it more convenient to edit many small single application configuration files rather than one big configuration file with settings for many applications.
