Disable bold font in urxvt

Question

I want to disable the bold font in my urxvt config (.Xresources). xterm has the option allowBoldFonts. Is there a similar option for urxvt? I can't find anything similar.

According to the manual, setting URxvt.boldFont to empty will disable the bold font, and uses regular font instead. This is the preferred way I think.

URxvt.boldFont:

You can effectively disable bold fonts by just applying the same font string for both urxvt's regular and bold fonts in .Xresources, for example:

URxvt.font:xft:droid sans mono slashed:size=10.5
URxvt.boldFont:xft:droid sans mono slashed:size=10.5
