I just updated to rxvt-20050409-7, and the font changed to a very weird display using a proportional-width font, but displayed with each character left-aligned within a fixed-size area which appears to correspond to the largest character within the font.
At a guess, this is because the new /etc/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt specifies "bitstream vera sans mono" and I have no font by that name. If that's the case, it is a bug for the rxvt package to depend on a non-standard font for its default display. Max.
