I do not ignore them. It'll take a time to compare urxvt rendering approach and others, say gvim, or mate-terminal.

An Arch Linux repository has the normal urxvt, but unofficial repository a «AUR» has also the patched version. Usually the Arch Linux put unofficial things to the «AUR», of course users aware that the name: «rxvt-unicode-patched 9.19-1» means with some patches (unofficial). Arch Linux users would kill for your ignorance. Just kidding ;) Don't put the Arch Linux in black list because of their unofficial repository. > > And we were thinking to include this patch into urxvt FreeBSD port as an > > optional feature > > http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=185656 > > It makes no sense to include a patch that is already known to be broken as > an "optional feature", but I am not responsible for the quality of freebsd > (which isn't being improved by even more breakage, not that there wouldn't > be enough problems already).

I wouldn't bother you more with questions unless I'll succeed.
