Thanks, this patch/option is now available in current CVS, if anybody wants
to try.

So it seems waht is inconsisitent is the underlying xft (or freetype)
libraries.

urxvt works consistently as well.

Sorry, I didn't mean that the code does something different from

Here is how gnome-terminal (libvte9) determines the width of an
xft font with pango in vtepangocairo.c:
367 static void
368 font_info_measure_font (struct font_info *info)
369 {
370 PangoRectangle logical;
371
372 /* Estimate for ASCII characters. */
373 pango_layou

Hi Mark,
The only question I have about this issue is: How does
gnome-terminal work consistently? That's unfortunately been my
fallback when the mix of library versions on my system produces
the wider urxvt font spacing. But if gnome-terminal's method
makes sense, maybe it would be appropriate f

I think it's a pretty good idea to have this tunable, and expect it to
Looking back through the archives there's a recurring theme of people
having problems with the letter spacing of xft fonts when used with
rxvt-unicode. The root cause of this seems to be variability in the
metrics reported by different versions of xft - having just upgraded
from Ubuntu 8.10 to 9.04
