[solved] urxvt won't set terminal font to Roboto!

URxvt*letterspace: -1
URxvt*font: -*-roboto condensed-medium-r-*-*-17-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

This is my  ~/.Xresources file; I run  xrdb ~/.Xresources  and start urxvt but it doesn't open.

I installed ttf-roboto too, and ran mkfontdir and xset fp rehash after installation.

pls help.

P.S It works with other fonts.

Turns out, I didn't select the registry option when selecting from xfontsel. This solved the problem.

Try to change a little

URxvt*font: xft:Roboto Condensed:pixelsize=17:antialias=true

...but first you can check it like this

urxvt -fn "xft:Roboto Condensed:pixelsize=17:antialias=true"
