hi all,

i keep getting the error in the subject as in:

urxvt: unable to load base fontset, please specify a valid one using
-fn, aborting

previously i had gotten around this error by adding the following to
my shell rc file:

printf '\33]50;%s\007' "8x13"

However i am now finding that this causes problems with the "tabbed"
extension in that any new tab created "hangs" and i have to manually
switch to an old tab and back again to the new one in order for the
prompt to appear.   this is diagreeable.

Having googled, i found this:

http://lists.schmorp.de/pipermail/rxvt-unicode/2006q2/000256.html

however, the suggestions in that post don't apply -- my fonts do exist
and my .Xdefaults file is being read just fine since i have all the
correct colors from ~/.Xdefaults being displayed in urxvt.  Just to
humor you i have:

URxvt.font: 8x13,fixed

(And yes, i have run:  xrdb < ~/.Xdefaults)

Also:

% xlsfonts -fn 8x13
8x13   8x13

Any ideas on whats going on?  i hope this isn't me being silly

Thanks!

David
