I installed mrxvt-0.3.9 and tried to run it. The default font mrxvt uses isn't installed on my system. This is the error message: mrxvt: can't load font "-isas-song ti-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-160-gb2312.1980-0" mrxvt: can't load font "-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-gb2312*-0" mrxvt: fatal error, aborting... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run mrxvt 2. 3. Actual Results: The application aborted Expected Results: Use a font present on the system.
It's fixed: add "mrxvt*multichar_encoding:noenc" to .Xdefaults see "http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?p=1804435#1804435"
