我想urxvt加载DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline字体，但无论如何都无法使用xft。
摘录自~/.Xresources from my dotfiles
! this work
! URxvt.font: -*-dejavu sans mono-medium-r-*-*-0-*-*-*-*-*-koi8-u
! none of these - dont
! URxvt.font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline:style=Book:size=12
! URxvt*font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline:style=Book:size=12
! URxvt*font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline:size=12
! URxvt*font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:size=12
我使用了来自aur的rxvt-unicode-patched版本
让我们检查是否正确

我得到了什么
$ xrdb -merge -I$HOME ~/.Xresources && urxvt
urxvt: unable to load base fontset, please specify a valid one using -fn, aborting.
xrdb -query -all here
为什么？！
答案 0 :(得分：1)
而不是大小，你应该使用 pixelsize ：
URxvt.font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline:style=Book:pixelsize=12
