rxvt-unicode & .Xdefaults

[nekoexmachina]

Hello, forum!

Just a little question about urxvt: can I set it up for using different fonts with some conditions, like 'If font is bold, use X, if font is slant, use Y, if character is in X-Y UNICODE range, use font Z'?
Question comes to mind cause I like Artwiz fonts (snap concretely), but bold version of snap sucks.
It would be great to find how to do it without messing with fontforge& creating my very own font


Hope the thread is not way too offtopic.

You can specify normal, bold and italic fonts easily in your .Xdefaults file. An example:

URxvt*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
URxvt*boldFont: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
URxvt*italicFont: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Hope that helps.
