I'm trying to set the font of my urxvt terminal. It seems to be working fine for text with no colors, whereas colored text is displayed differently:

As you can see the colored upper-case letters have the same height as the x-height of the non-colored text. What gives?

For reference the font-related properties I have in my .Xdefaults is:

URxvt.allow_bold:           true
URxvt*font: xft:source code pro:regular:pixelsize=18;hinting=True;antialias:True
URxvt*imFont: xft:source code pro:regular:pixelsize=18;hinting=True;antialias:True
URxvt*boldFont: xft:source code pro:semibold:pixelsize=18;hinting=True;antialias:True
URxvt*italicFont: xft:source code pro:italic:pixelsize=18;hinting=True;antialias:True
URxvt*boldItalicFont: xft:source code:semibold:italic:pixelsize=18;hinting=True;antialias:True
URxvt*letterSpace: -1

That's not just colored, that's colored and bold. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams May 02 '18 at 21:58
Ah indeed. I've changed all the fonts to be the same family now. Yet it persists. – fredefox May 02 '18 at 22:00
@fredefox In that case, can you please update your post to include the actual contents of .Xdefaults after changing fonts to the same family? – filbranden May 02 '18 at 22:07
Absolutely. I've added a few more options as well. See update. – fredefox May 02 '18 at 22:09
The boldItalicFont: seems to have a typo: xft:source code: is missing the pro. – meuh May 13 '18 at 09:50
