When I launch cygwin's rxvt from within cygwin's X11, I use the option
"-fn 9x15bold". I like the appearance of this font.
When I launch cygwin's rxvt WITHOUT X11, with "-fn 9x15bold", I do not
get the same font as I get with X11.
When I launch rxvt WITHOUT X11, with the option "-fn 'Lucida Console-20'",
I do get Lucida font.
So it appears that my specific issue is that without X11, rxvt cannot
find the font 9x15bold. It does not complain though.
Is there an alternate name for 9x15bold that I can feed to rxvt? How do
I find it?
9x15bold is an X font. It's only available when you're running X. If you
don't run X, you're using Windows fonts. You can see the list of available
fonts and sizes by looking at the "Fonts" Control Panel applet.
