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

[Tomáš Karger]

Affects me too on 16.04. As I run i3 I noticed that the bug is only
present when I run unity-settings-daemon. Otherwise, the fonnt spacing
is ok.

Title:
  rxvt-unicode: Excessive font spacing

Status in rxvt-unicode package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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
