[Bug 309792] [NEW] Excessive font spacing

[Gladstone]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: rxvt-unicode

I'm having a problem with font spacing in urxvt. All characters seem to
have excessive white-space in between each other. I use DejaVu Sans Mono
(size 8) and there is a big difference between xterm and urxvt.

Heres a mockup of what I mean: http://i35.tinypic.com/qsmp.png
(stolen from an ArchLinux forum post here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=55634 and another related
thread here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=44800)

My .Xdefaults looks like this:

urxvt.font:                 xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:size=8
