trouble changing font with URxvt [on hold]
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I'm trying to change fonts in URxvt.
$ fc-match "FuraCode Nerd Font Mono"
Fura_Code_Regular_Nerd_Font_Complete_Mono.otf: "FuraCode Nerd Font Mono" "Regular"
But when changing ~/.Xresources like this
URxvt.font: xft:FuraCode Nerd Font Mono:pixelsize=12
and running
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
The next session uses the same font as i3.
Tried the same with xterm and it is working.
What am i doing wrong?
edit:
urxvt -fn "xft:FuraCode Nerd Font Mono:pixelsize=15"
is working too.
In ~/xsession-errors:
urxvt: unable to load base fontset, please specify a valid one using -fn, aborting
terminal fonts rxvt

don't you need a colon (:) afterURxvt.font?
– mosvy
Dec 31 '18 at 19:40
yes (and since resource-names can have blanks, the setting is misleading)

Cannot reproduce your problem. Runningecho 'URxvt.font: xft:FuraCode Nerd Font Mono:pixelsize=12' | xrdb -overridewill causeurxvtto use that font on my system. You have something else; I highly doubt that the resources were added correctly; please add the output ofxprop -root | egrep -o 'URxvt([^\]|\t)*'to your question.

According to Xsession(5):
"X resources are merged. run-parts is again used, this time to identify files in the /etc/X11/Xresources directory that should be processed with ‘xrdb -merge’. Next, if the line ‘allow-user-resources’ is present in Xsession.options, the user's $HOME/.Xresources file is merged in the same way."
So you should make sure your "/etc/X11/Xsession.options" certainly have the correct entry.
I am not much an X(7) user but for those cases I run Xorg I use the old method to personalize urxvt with "/home/user/.Xdefaults" but the format it's a bit different than the one you explains.
If you need here you have the correct way to set the font:
: cat .Xdefaults
!rxvt
rxvt*foreground: white
rxvt*background: black
rxvt*cursorColor: white
rxvt*pointerColor: white
rxvt*borderColor: black
rxvt*font: -xos4-terminus-medium-r-normal-*-16-*-72-72-c-80-*-*
etcetera...
To get the correct name for your font you can use xfontsel(1)
P.S.: You could try to put rxvt instead of urxvt in your ~/.Xresources.
