Hi,

I switched to using xft fonts on urxvt recently.  They look great, but I 
have an issue.  I use a completely transparent terminal 
(rgba:0000/0000/0000/0000) terminal.  When selecting text, it completely 
disappears with xft fonts, whereas it selects in reverse video (as it 
should) when using bitmap fonts.  See screenshots at:

xft: http://imagebin.ca/view/fe4iRs.html

Please let me know how to resolve this issue.  I'd like to continue using 
xft fonts.

Please also cc me on replies, as I am not subscribed to the list.

Thank you,
Rann Bar-On
