Re: How to launch an rxvt terminal window with Monospace font

The default command to launch an rxvt terminal is the following:

I would like to use Monospace font instead of Lucida Console. I tried:

C:\cygwin\bin\rxvt.exe -display :0 -fn "Monospace-14" -tn
rxvt-cygwin-native -e /bin/bash --login

It results in the use of a double-spaced font which is not Monospace.
Replacing "Monospace" with any string gives the same result.

NB: the Monospace font is the one which is used by default when
launching gvim (with XWin activated).
Why do you have -display specified? Try removing it. And, if you only run an X server for rxvt terms then stop running the X server. Rxvt will use Windows widgets if there is no -display specified (note this also means no DISPLAY environment). Perhaps that way a Monospace font can be found?
