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. ht - -- Henry S.
