From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.10 i686) Description of problem: When I have rxvt-2.7.5-15 installed, it uses a 7x14 font (as specified in my .Xdefaults with the line *font:7x14). When I install rxvt-2.7.6-4.i386.rpm, it uses a larger font (8x16, perhaps?). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install rxvt-2.7.6-4 2. type "rxvt" at a command line. 3. Notice the large font that won't let me fit 160 columns on a screen Actual Results: rxvt popped up, with a big font. Expected Results: rxvt should have popped up with a 7x14 font, as specified in my .Xdefaults file with the line *font:7x14 Additional info:
rxvt does not read .Xdefaults and X read .Xresources. Can you retry with setting it in .Xresources and manually check rxvt -fn 7x14 if you have the font?
you may try rxvt-2.7.8-1
2.7.8-1 seems to work fine, thanks.
