In .Xdefaults, I have:

! Bind C-0, C-+ and C-= to activate medium, big and small font size respectively.
URxvt.font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:pixelsize=10,xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono,xft:Baekmuk Gulim,xft:Kochi Gothic,xft:AR PL ShanHeiSun Uni,xft:FreeMono:autohint=true
URxvt.keysym.C-minus: command:\033]710;xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:pixelsize=10,xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono,xft:Baekmuk Gulim,xft:Kochi Gothic,xft:AR PL ShanHeiSun Uni,xft:FreeMono:autohint=true\007
URxvt.keysym.C-0: command:\033]710;xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:pixelsize=16,xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono,xft:Baekmuk Gulim,xft:Kochi Gothic,xft:AR PL ShanHeiSun Uni,xft:FreeMono:autohint=true\007
URxvt.keysym.C-equal: command:\033]710;xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:pixelsize=26,xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono,xft:Baekmuk Gulim,xft:Kochi Gothic,xft:AR PL ShanHeiSun Uni,xft:FreeMono:autohint=true\007
