I am running Cygwin on Windows 7. When I use the bash terminal, all of the font characters look fine – man pages render with color and bold. However, when I use rxvt, I cannot seem to find a font/terminal setting that will render fonts properly. I get a lot of gobbeldy-gook in rxvt. For example,

‘)â€

Can anybody help me set up the rxvt terminal to display fonts like the normal cygwin bash terminal?
