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.
