The current rxvt is compiled with

                 --disable-shared \
                 --enable-xpm-background \
                 --with-xpm-includes=${B}/W11/X11 \
                 --with-xpm-library=${B}/W11/lib \
                 --x-libraries=${B}/W11/lib \
                 --x-includes=${B}/W11 \
                 --enable-utmp \
                 --enable-wtmp \
                 --enable-lastlog \
                 --enable-menubar \
                 --enable-rxvt-scroll \
                 --enable-next-scroll \
                 --enable-xterm-scroll \
                 --enable-frills \
                 --enable-linespace \
                 --enable-mousewheel \
                 --enable-keepscrolling \
                 --enable-old-selection \
                 --enable-selectionscrolling \
                 --enable-transparency \
                 --enable-256-color \
                 --enable-24bit \
                 --enable-languages \
                 --with-encoding=noenc

Now, bigfont_key and smallfont_key are available only #if 
defined(HOTKEY_CTRL) || defined(HOTKEY_META) -- and in rxvt, not 
everything is controlled via configure options. Some things you have to 
manipulate by editing feature.h before compiling. This is one of those:

/*
  * Choose one of these values to be the `hotkey' for changing font.
  * This has been superceded and is only for you older users
  */
/* #define HOTKEY_CTRL */
/* #define HOTKEY_META */

If you uncomment one of those two defines and recompile, then you should 
be able to add something to your ~/.Xdefaults like:

Rxvt*bigfont_key: Right
Rxvt*smallfont_key: Left

so that ALT-leftarrow and ALT-rightarrow do what you want. (The default, 
without those .Xdefaults entries, is ALT-> and ALT-< -- but it only 
works if you recompile with HOTKEY_META undefined.

If you define HOTKEY_CTRL, then all hotkeys for font changing would be 
CTRL-whatever instead of ALT-whatever.
