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. -- Paul Rogers [email protected] Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
