    I don't believe consolefonts are X fonts.  I think those are for the text
console.

    For rxvt you need to use the Xfonts (/usr/lib/X11/fonts/) and the easiest
way to use them are to use the names listed in the various fonts.alias files.
For example my favorite font for rxvt is
-misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-80-iso8859-1.  However I can just
use "8x13bold" because fonts.alias in /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc has this line in
it:

8x13bold     -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-80-iso8859-1
