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 characters touch, like Arnaud wrote. That is, if I compare output to Terminator's, I see the latter slightly better positioning letters. Therefore, bug still persists, URxvt.letterspace just fixes it partially (and spacing should be correct without additional parameter anyway). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/309792 Title: rxvt-unicode: Excessive font spacing -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
