Hello,
I have just installed arch and wanted to install a new bitmap font in URxvt and I followed the manual installation in the arch wiki.
I ran fc-list | grep creep and this was the output, Wich means it's installed. (I assume)
/usr/share/fonts/bitmap/creep.bdf: creep:style=Regular
So I edited my .Xresources and added the line URxvt.font: creep:style=Regular and restarted xorg. but the font didn't change...
So I wondered if the font has a diffrent name or something...
Thank you in advance!
P.S. this is the font I'm trying to use

Hmm... I have added the font path (/usr/share/fonts/bitmap) to my fontpath, It shows up in xset q and I have ran mkfontscale and mkfontdir. I have also rehashed the fonts and it shows up in it's font.dir and xlsfonts as creep.bdf -gbdfed-creep-regular-r-normal--16-120-96-96-m-4-iso10646-1 and I've added that line to URxvt.font with and without creep.bdf in front of it and it still doesn't work...

Paste your XResources.

! URxvt.font: -gbdfed-creep-regular-r-normal--16-120-96-96-m-4-iso10646-1
URxvt.font: creep.bdf -gbdfed-creep-regular-r-normal--16-120-96-96-m-4-iso10646-1

That's your XResources? Or just random lines from it?
The uncommented one is for sure wrong.
Also:
I edited my .Xresources and added the line URxvt.font: creep:style=Regular and restarted xorg
You're aware that you somehow need to load the resources? This doesn't happen magically when the X11 server starts.
xrdb -query | grep -i creep

That is all I have in my .Xresources.
xrdb -query doesn't output anything, even if I remove grep.

Thank you very much for the heads up, I ran xrdb ~/.Xresources and restarted URxvt and it worked! Do I just need to add this line to my .xinitrc?

Depends on how you start your session (ie. whether xinitrc is invoked), but principally yes.
