This is more likely an rxvt bug, but I'm not on that list...;-)

I run mutt in an rxvt compiled without --enable-xpm-background like so:

rxvt -fb "-misc-fixed-bold-r-*-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" (many deleted options)

with lucidasanstypewriter-12 as my normal font (which shows up OK).  I specify
the bold font just so I can get ACS characters for threads, since they aren't
in lucidasanstypewriter-12.  This worked great until recently, when
"-misc-fixed-bold-r-*-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" started disappearing after running X
for a few days.  Restarting rxvt doesn't help, but restarting X does.  Come to
think of it, this behavior started around the time I started running
setiathome, so maybe it's a X bug/feature when memory is scarce.

Sorry to go so far off topic, but maybe, just maybe, this is related.
