I want to urxvt load DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline font, but it doesn't work with xft no matter what.
Excerpt from ~/.Xresources from my dotfiles
! this work
! URxvt.font: -*-dejavu sans mono-medium-r-*-*-0-*-*-*-*-*-koi8-u
! none of these - dont
! URxvt.font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline:style=Book:size=12
! URxvt*font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline:style=Book:size=12
! URxvt*font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline:size=12
! URxvt*font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:size=12
I use rxvt-unicode-patched version from aur
Let's check if all right
$ urxvt --help 2>&1 | grep options
options: perl,styles,combining,blink,iso14755,unicode3,encodings=eu+vn+jp+jp-ext+kr+zh+zh-ext,fade,transparent,tint,pixbuf,XIM,frills,selectionscrolling,wheel,slipwheel,smart-resize,cursorBlink,pointerBlank,scrollbars=plain+rxvt+NeXT+xterm
$ fc-match "DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline"
DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline" "Book"
$ fc-list G "DejaVu Sans Mono"
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSansMono.ttf: DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Book
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVu Sans Mono Bold for Powerline.ttf: DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline:style=Bold
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSansMono-Oblique.ttf: DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Oblique
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVu Sans Mono Oblique for Powerline.ttf: DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline:style=Oblique
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline.ttf: DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline:style=Book

/usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSansMono-Bold.ttf: DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Bold
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSansMono-BoldOblique.ttf: DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Bold Oblique
what I get
$ xrdb -merge -I$HOME ~/.Xresources && urxvt
urxvt: unable to load base fontset, please specify a valid one using -fn, aborting.
xrdb -query -all at that time here
Why?!
