Attached is a Perl script to add the same functionality to urxvt. The fonts
are hard-coded in the script, and it probably isn't the best Perl as I
don't normally use Perl. But here it is for what it's worth.

# Cycle through set of font sizes

# called via keysym hook in .Xresources
# E.g., To use Ctrl-Meta-[plus]/Ctrl-Meta-[minus] use...
# URxvt*keysym.C-M-equal: command:\033]777;font-size:+\007
# URxvt*keysym.C-M-minus: command:\033]777;font-size:-\007

# Be warned. I don't use perl normally. So this might not be optimal.
