[2.x] Use DejaVu fonts in urxvt?

(1/1)

Nate:
Hello,

I really like Tiny Core linux, and I'm customizing a USB-install for myself.

I'm using TinyCore 2.3, and have installed urxvt, and the deja vu fonts.

I have the following lines in my .Xdefaults (I copied them from my ubuntu box):

URxvt*font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:antialias=true:pixelsize=13
URxvt*boldFont: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:style=bold:antialias=true:pixelsize=13

But, when I start up urxvt, I get the message: "Unable to load base fontset, please specify a valid one"

Do I have to set up X to use "xft", or am I not specifying the font correctly?
I found the "fc-list" program, and it recognizes the DejaVu fonts:

>fc-list

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. My mistake--Xft support is not automatically included in urxvt. I've recompiled it and confirmed that it works. Will send the new version to Jason for upload today.
