As said before, xlsfonts does not care about your ~/.fonts folder
because it uses the old font management driven by the X server which
does not care about your personal directory. See xorg.conf for a list of
known font paths.
You probably used the xft-Syntax with urxvt before so it has used
Fontconfig system instead of X11. See urxvt manpage, eg.
urxvt -fn "xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono:pixelsize=15"
