Comment 12 for bug 309792

Adam, thanks for testing, but your workaround doesn't seem to work for me. Is it possible to use xrdb -load for a file that (apparently) has already been loaded with xrdb -merge? Editing a file and calling xrdb -load like you did doesn't change the issue for me.

Two more workarounds however are (since the problem is apparently with XFT):

- Use non-FreeType font like in the following line:
URxvt.font: -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

- Disable XFT (then you could leave FreeType font) with the following ~/.fonts.conf (correct the dir):
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'>
<fontconfig>
    <dir>/home/kevin/.Fontmatrix/Activated</dir>
 <match target="font">
  <edit name="antialias" mode="assign">
   <bool>false</bool>
  </edit>
 </match>
</fontconfig>
