[Bug 309792] Re: rxvt-unicode: Excessive font spacing

[tremby]

Like you, I found this problem unbearable -- I don't feel comfortable
unless the letters are exactly 1 unit wide, 2 units high.

I can't remember exactly where I got this from but if you Googled the
fella's name and some of the patch content I imagine you'd find it.

The attached patch adds a letterSpace option which you can set to a
negative value to crunch the letters together. It works fine along with
the 256 colour patch. (Though I can't get it to compile at all even
without patches on Karmic, 64 or 32 bit, but that's in the bug I'm going
to report right after posting this...)

You then add the line

URxvt.letterSpace:                      -1

to your .Xdefaults.

I found that on I need this on my work machine and my laptop but not on
my home desktop. I'm not sure why -- possibly something to do with the
DPI values of the screens.
