I just installed urxvt from CVS pullout and I get this:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ urxvt -fn xft:DejaVuSansMono:pixelsize=12
urxvt: unable to load base fontset, please specify a valid one using -fn,
aborting.

I don't understand it. DejaVu fonts are installed and configured to use by
X on my system. This is relevant part of /etc/X11/xorg.conf:


Section "Files"
        RgbPath      "/etc/X11/rgb"
        ModulePath   "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
        FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc"
        FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic"
        FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled"
        FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled"
        FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1"
        FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi"
        FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi"
        FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu"
        FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera"
        FontPath     "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont"
        FontPath     "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"
EndSection


----------- from Terminal ----------------
