That's your problem. Vanilla Windows does not have the bitstream
fonts at all. Either
1) Install the bitstream fonts (they are free now, use a search
engine);
2) Edit that line to use a font you _do_ have by default, for instance
Rxvt*font: Lucida Console-11
I recommend (1). Even better, get the tweaked version of the
Bitstream fonts, which are called DejaVu.
