Very interesting. The description of the rxvt-unicode package indeed states that: "It supports using multiple fonts at the same time, including Xft fonts [..]". Any clues how it does this..? I mean, does it look for the usual suspects in the usual locations, or is there a way to specify your fallback fonts? It does depend on libfontconfig, which since I want to stick with terminus for most regular stuff would be pretty much what I vaguely was hoping for. Seems like I need to take a look at rxvt and doc.
