Hello all!
I'm trying to get the artwiz-edges font working in Urxvt. Here's the line in my .Xdefaults:
URxvt.font:xft:artwiz-edges-medium-r-normal--*-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
Issue is, when I restart and run Urxvt, the font is spaced apart very widely. Can someone please explain to me how to fix this?

I've been seeking for help all around the web for this, and there's still no solution I've found. A fix would be nice.

Is artwiz edges really a truetype font? If it is then you maybe the format of the URxvt.font argument is wrong and should be something like URxvt.font: xft:Artwiz Edges:size=11. If it's not maybe you should drop the "xft" from the argument. And don't forget to remerge your .Xresources or .Xdefaults (xrdb -merge .Xresources).

The fonts are pcf fonts. However, if I drop the xft, I get an error. I tried the merge command you gave, and no dice. Still obnoxiously wide.

Well, supposing the artwiz fonts are in the FontPath (I believe it should be /usr/share/fonts/artwiz-fonts) the correct entry should be something like
URxvt.font:-artwiz-edges-medium-r-normal--12-*-75-75-m-0-iso8859-1

That worked! I just had to change the size from 10 to 12, and it looks great. Thanks for the help!
