Affects me too on 16.04. As I run i3 I noticed that the bug is only
present when I run unity-settings-daemon. Otherwise, the fonnt spacing
is ok.

rxvt-unicode: Excessive font spacing

Adding to my previous message, I noticed that 'Xft.hintstyle:
hintslight' (instead of hintfull) also triggers too big a letter
spacing, though not as excessive as with 'Xft.rgba: rgb'. Full example:
Xft.dpi:96
Xft.antialias: true
Xft.rgba: none
Xft.hinting:true
Xft.autohint: t
I second the comments regarding Xft.rgba: Omitting it (or setting it to
none) fixes the issues for the time being.

Title:

As per Adam's comment (#11) the Xft.rgba resource value definitely
triggers this issue.
Adding Xft.rgba: none to your .Xresources file fixes the font width
issue.
Alternatively, for quick testing, you can do:
echo "Xft.rgba: none" | xrdb -merge

I mistaken, you do not need to have that entry at all, unless it
was added by Fontmatrix program like it was for on my system. Add
remember that this will disable XFT system-wide. You need to add the
following entries in ~/.fonts.conf in their respective sections:

Adam, thanks for testing, but your workaround doesn't seem to work for
me. Is it possible to use xrdb -load for a file that (apparently) has
already been loaded with xrdb -merge? Editing a file and calling xrdb
-load like you did doesn't change the issue for me.
Two more workarounds however are (s
I don't really know the history behind this issue, but i did some
digging/testing.
When i configure my ~/.Xdefaults as only:
URxvt.font: xft:Monospace
I get the behavior described in this bug. If I do a `xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults`
from the command line, I get no change in behavior. HOWEVER,
I have the same issue.
URxvt.letterspace fixed the problem partially, fonts still doesn't look
as good as in other (gnome and non-gnome) apps.
I just switched from Archlinux to Ubuntu. I was using urxvt for years on
Archlinux and was rendering my fonts fine, the same way as the rest of
the deskto
Sorry, have to take that back - URxvt.letterspace works (I just kept
starting urxvtc without restarting daemon).
So, the following lines provide spacing close to normal for me:
URxvt.font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono-8:autohint=true
URxvt.letterSpace: -2
But spacing is still slightly incorrect and some
I downloaded and installed on my Lucid system package rxvt-unicode
(9.07-2) for Maverick, and bug still persists, URxvt.letterSpace doesn't
do a thing. Damn it urxvt, could you ever learn to show fonts
properly?..

I gave it a try and I have to use:
urxvt.font: xft: Monospace:pixelsize=12
urxvt.letterSpace: -5
to make it work, but it's still not ideal as some characters still touch each
other or are far too apart...

I'm able to reproduce this on a newly installed Lucid system.
Guys, upstream changelog for rxvt-unicode version 9.07 indicates that
patch mentioned by tremby already merged upstream. I've prepared
packages (lucid, karmic) which could be installed from this PPA:

I am a long term user of rxvt-unicode, but the current display of all
