You can specify a list of fonts with the -fn and -boldfont command-line arguments. For each character, urxvt will use the first font from the list that provides the character. If none of the fonts provide it, urxvt will choose some other fallback fonts, but it's best to specify the fonts yourself if you want to make sure those check marks appear properly. > how to > further debug this issue (is it possible to enable debugging in urxvt to > find out which extra fonts it use?)… In an urxvt window, you can hold down control+shift and mouse click on a character in the terminal window to make urxvt tell what character is displayed there and in what font. Use that to make sure the check marks displayed are the character you expect and to tell what fonts are used. -- ambrus _______________________________________________ rxvt-unicode mailing list [email protected] http://lists.schmorp.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rxvt-unicode
