Hi, In my setup, rxvt-unicode is spacing characters more widely than other apps (using xft fonts; haven't tried it with X11 core fonts.)
As seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/2867564879/ rxvt-unicode is on the left half of the screen, in the right half are xfce4-terminal on top and emacs 23 on the bottom. All are using the Consolas font at 20 points. rxvt-unicode has 49 characters at that width; xfce4-terminal has 55; emacs has 53 (less than xfce4-terminal due to the gutter on each side.) Here's a similar screenshot with DejaVu Sans Mono at 16 points: http://www.flickr.com/photos/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/2867596691/ rxvt-unicode has 55 characters; xfce4-terminal has 64; emacs has 62. This is rxvt-unicode 9.05, built from source. I get the same results with Ubuntu Hardy's rxvt-unicode 8.4 package. I get the same spacing whether I explicitly set antialias and autohint to true in urxvt's Xresources or to false. I'm using Ubuntu Hardy's xft 2.1.12 and freetype 2.3.5 packages. Does this owe to some bug in the font definitions that the other apps are compensating for? Is there a way to get the narrower spacing of the others? Thanks. _______________________________________________ rxvt-unicode mailing list [email protected] http://lists.schmorp.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rxvt-unicode
