I have been having some challenges getting fonts to work within rxvt-unicode.
I installed the terminus-font package with pacman from the community repo. I now try to test it out live within rxvt-unicode:
printf '\e]710;%s\007' "xft:Terminus:pixelsize=12"
However, it appears that maybe it is not finding the font? I simply end up with large, wide spaced letters. I can replace "Terminus" with a random string of characters and I get the same results, which leads me to think it's just defaulting to what I'm seeing.
I feel like I must be overlooking something obvious, even after searching through the "Fonts" and "rxvt-unicode" wiki articles.

Terminus is a bitmap font.

Use "xft:xos4 Terminus..." or an XLFD.

Do not forget to reboot after font installing. Font database is not updated automatically after font installing.

The hooks /usr/share/libalpm/hooks/fontconfig.hook and /usr/share/libalpm/hooks/xorg-mkfontdir.hook should ensure no reboot is required for fonts managed by pacman.

Doing what Trilby suggested did the trick. Thank you!
