I don't think "linux fonts" exist, but rxvt-unicode supports X fonts
instead, which come in two flavours, X11 core fonts (non-antialiasable)
and Xft fonts (aliasable).

As the author, however, I would be interested in what you think was
missing in the manpage with respect to fonts and font handling? The FAQ
should also have some examples on the syntax, btw.

When I last googled for "urxvt", I found a small number of examples (not
urxvt config files per se, but standard Xt ressource files with urxvt
config), for example these:

http://ikaro.dk/fluxbox/terminals/urxvt-config
http://triplehelix.org/~joshk/pterm-urxvt.Xresources.txt
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/lativy/config/Xresources

This one has an interesting (i.e. completely non-standard but working)
colour scheme:

http://double-helix.org/linux/.Xresources

I don't think they qualify as "cool", but at least they are config files
people seem to be willing to share :)
