[Solved] Urxvt Proggy Misc font setting.

Hi there,

I wanted to use the Proggy font in my Urxvt, after installing the proggy fonts, and adding them to the fonts I have them available, here they are listed in fc-list.

$  fc-list | grep Proggy
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/ProggySmall.ttf: ProggySmallTT:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/misc/ProggyCleanCP.pcf.gz: ProggyCleanCP.pcf:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/misc/ProggySquare.pcf.gz: ProggySquare.pcf:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/ProggyTinySZ.ttf: ProggyTinyTTSZ:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/misc/ProggyTinySZ.pcf.gz: ProggyTinySZ.pcf:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/ProggySquare.ttf: ProggySquareTT:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/ProggyCleanCE.ttf: ProggyCleanTT CE:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/misc/ProggyCleanSZ.pcf.gz: ProggyCleanSZ.pcf:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/ProggyClean.ttf: ProggyCleanTT:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/ProggyTiny.ttf: ProggyTinyTT:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/misc/ProggyCleanSZCP.pcf.gz: ProggyCleanSZCP.pcf:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/misc/ProggyClean.pcf.gz: ProggyClean.pcf:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/misc/ProggyCleanSZBP.pcf.gz: ProggyCleanSZBP.pcf:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/ProggySquareSZ.ttf: ProggySquareTTSZ:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/misc/ProggySmall.pcf.gz: ProggySmall.pcf:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/ProggyCleanSZ.ttf: ProggyCleanTTSZ:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/misc/ProggyTinyBold.pcf.gz: ProggyTinySZ:style=Bold
/usr/share/fonts/misc/ProggyTiny.pcf.gz: ProggyTiny.pcf:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/ProggyCleanSZBP.ttf: ProggyCleanTTSZBP:style=Regular
/usr/share/fonts/misc/ProggySquareSZ.pcf.gz: ProggySquareSZ.pcf:style=Regular

So there are TTF and misc versions, I really want to try a proggy misc font, I tried to put the name in my resources file by adding this line.

URxvt*font:				ProggySquare

It won't work, TTF versions work fine by prefixing xft: to this name.

urxvt: unable to load base fontset, please specify a valid one using -fn, aborting.

What am I doing wrong ?

Re: [Solved] Urxvt Proggy Misc font setting.

urxvt -fn -*-proggysquare-medium-r-*-*-24-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

seems to work.
