Rxvt-unicode

Rxvt-unicode, also known simply as urxvt, is a fast and lightweight terminal emulator.

Font
One can set the font par application per se like the following. {{file|~/.Xresources|| !-*-{ URxvt !-*- General settings -*- URxvt*termName:      rxvt-unicode-256color URxvt*font:          xft:terminus:size=8:antialias=false URxvt*allow_bold:    False }} Or else, set a font globally for X applications.

Additionally, one can tweak Xft settings.

Printing
By default, rxvt-unicode will print out a screen dump, via lpr, when is pressed. Using + or - will include the terminal's scroll back in the printout as well. This behavior can be changed, or disabled entirely, based on personal preference and need.

Copy/Paste and URL handling
A perl module can be used to get copy/paste and URL handling capabilities. Additionally, you will need either or  for copy/paste capabilities. One can grab the sources of a perl modules from muennich's github or an ebuild for example. It is possible to get other perl modules elsewhere on the internet.

Here is an example of a `~/.Xresources'. The following lines could also be added to `~/.Xdefaults', though `~/.Xresources' is preferred.

Menu icon
This adds menu entry and menu icon for urxvt. If urxvt doesn't have a .desktop file, create one.

Application icon
For setting application icon urxvt has to be compiled with afterimage USE flag.
