My issue is in my latest 8.1 build, in which I installed these,
following the book.

Specitically, it seems this is the one with the ancient bitmapped PCF 
fonts rxvt wants:

Yes, I certainly COULD do that too, even just the 8859-1 that rxvt
wants as opposed to all 8MB of the whole thing, but I'm hoping I only
have to use that as a last resort.  Maybe the better path in the long 
run is to replace this legacy package.  The book uses urxvt.  It appears
to me that perhaps I have something misconfigured or misinstalled with 
xft to produce this wierd l e t t e r  s p a c i n g, which certainly 
suggest two bytes being used.  Probably better to fix my error, I don't
see many others with this problem.  I'm hoping somebody here recognizes
it and knows what to do.
