I was very unhappy with all the "bells and whistles" this package has--"More bells and whistles than a steam calliope." Something is "prima facie" wrong with a package that has --enable-everything & --enable-frills! I wanted to go the opposite way, but then lost letterSpace: patch -Np1 -i ../patches/urxvt-9.22-letterSpacing.patch && (./configure --target="$CTARGET" --disable-everything --with-x \ --with-res-name=urxvt --with-res-class=URxvt --without-codesets \ --enable-fallback=Rxvt --enable-xft --enable-resources \ --enable-rxvt-scroll --enable-font-styles --enable-mousewheel \ --enable-smart-resize --enable-utmp -enable-startup-notification \ --enable-keepscrolling 2>&1 | tee log.conf && exit $PIPESTATUS) && I decided I had to make this work! So I looked into the code and fortunately it is easily enough patched, note above, to permanently enable letterSpace that even I could do it--just move a few definitions outside ifdef blocks. So I offer this patch in case anyone prefers my approach: --- a/src/init.C 2016-01-18 11:35:08.000000000 -0800 +++ b/src/init.C 2018-07-21 23:49:33.709075794 -0700 @@ -655,10 +655,10 @@ if (rs[Rs_lineSpace] && (i = atoi (rs[Rs_lineSpace])) >= 0) lineSpace = min (i, std::numeric_limits<int16_t>::max ()); +#endif if (rs[Rs_letterSpace]) letterSpace = atoi (rs[Rs_letterSpace]); -#endif #ifdef POINTER_BLANK if (rs[Rs_pointerBlankDelay] && (i = atoi (rs[Rs_pointerBlankDelay])) >= 0) diff -Naur a/src/rsinc.h b/src/rsinc.h --- a/src/rsinc.h 2015-06-17 04:57:42.000000000 -0700 +++ b/src/rsinc.h 2018-07-21 23:40:42.186037777 -0700 @@ -78,10 +78,10 @@ def (int_bwidth) def (borderLess) def (lineSpace) - def (letterSpace) def (cursorUnderline) def (urgentOnBell) #endif + def (letterSpace) #if BUILTIN_GLYPHS def (skipBuiltinGlyphs) #endif diff -Naur a/src/xdefaults.C b/src/xdefaults.C --- a/src/xdefaults.C 2016-01-23 10:38:47.000000000 -0800 +++ b/src/xdefaults.C 2018-07-21 23:55:05.091099495 -0700 @@ -244,8 +244,8 @@ STRG (Rs_int_bwidth, "internalBorder", "b", "number", "internal border in pixels"), BOOL (Rs_borderLess, "borderLess", "bl", Opt_borderLess, 0, "borderless window"), STRG (Rs_lineSpace, "lineSpace", "lsp", "number", "number of extra pixels between rows"), - STRG (Rs_letterSpace, "letterSpace", "letsp", "number", "letter spacing adjustment"), #endif + STRG (Rs_letterSpace, "letterSpace", "letsp", "number", "letter spacing adjustment"), #ifdef BUILTIN_GLYPHS BOOL (Rs_skipBuiltinGlyphs, "skipBuiltinGlyphs", "sbg", Opt_skipBuiltinGlyphs, 0, "do not use internal glyphs"), #endif In case line wrapping messes that up so's it can't be (ahem) patched back together, I'll make it an attachment too. > > > 9x15.

I find with xft:Monospace-9 I want letterSpace: 2. URxvt.font: xft:Monospace-9 URxvt.letterSpace: -2 In my playing around I discovered xft tries to apply letterSpace to all the fonts it has, whether in .Xresources or not. If a large number may be required for a widely spaced font in use, it may cause some "error" messages on one's console when narrower spaced fonts cause letter overlaps. -- Paul Rogers paulgrog...@fastmail.fm Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
