I would welcome more people using to this, and 8.2 has been fine for
me.
I do, however, think that maybe I should mention that configuring
the font(s) correctly can be an exercise in frustration, particularly
if your preferred font lacks a lot of glyphs. In the spirit of "use
a few more fonts" here is what I used to have in .Xresources -
nowadays I don't build the courier, I've only got minimal old fonts
so that xclock and xcalc will work. These settings are for a large
monitor.
URxvt.faceSize: 12
URxvt.font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:autohint=true, \
xft:FreeMono:autohint=true, \
-adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--20-140-100-100-n-110-iso10646-1
The one real failing of urxvt is that it can't find obscure glyphs
in TT fonts unless it is told about the font containing them.
