i am trying to use Fira Mono Medium for Powerline
with urxvt in -current:

$ urxvt -h
rxvt-unicode (urxvt) v9.22 - released: 2016-01-23
options: 
perl,xft,styles,combining,blink,iso14755,unicode3,encodings=eu+vn+jp+jp-ext+kr+zh+zh-ext,fade,transparent,tint,pixbuf,XIM,frills,selectionscrolling,wheel,slipwheel,cursorBlink,pointerBlank,scrollbars=plain+rxvt+NeXT+xterm
...

if i set the font from command line:
$ urxvt -fn "xft:Fira Mono Medium for Powerline:pixelsize=14:codeset=utf-8"

i get correct utf-8 (not just specific to powerline)
characters in tmux, mc, vim.  however if i set the font
through .Xdefaults:

urxvt.font:             xft:Fira Mono Medium for 
Powerline:pixelsize=14:codeset=utf-8

the characters are incorrect (with/without tmux).

so i can start two urxvt's: with -fn and without,
attach to the same tmux session and see
correct/incorrect characters at the same time.
rather strange...

also when i open an ssh session to this notebook from
another one, and attach to the tmux session, in the
local urxvt the characters are correct (linux mint,
urxvt v9.19)

on linux, using the same font, same .Xdefaults file,
same software (only much older versions :/ ) i am not
able to reproduce this locally so before contacting the
urxvt developer i thought i'd asked around here for
some ideas...

can anybody reproduce this?
