Also, if you press and hold Ctrl, Shift and mouse button 1 in the urxvt window it will show what fonts are being used as you move the mouse around.
]]>urxvt*font: xft:DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Book:antialias=false:size=8, \
xft:WenQuanYi Bitmap Song:size=8, \
xft:FreeSerif:style=Regular, \
xft:unifont:style=Medium:antialias=false
Edited for typos.
]]>URxvt*skipBuiltinGlyphs: true
(an alternative to that is launching urxvt with the -sbg flag.)
Now the boxes render the same way as in xterm. Only problem are still the antialiased Japanese characters (although the specified font provides those, I have the feeling urxvt is substituting them for a different one).

I'm having a minor issue rendering fonts in urxvt. I've been using xterm with the standard font (6x13) before. Since for my work I depend on international scripts, I'd set the following in my .Xresources:
XTerm*locale: true
XTerm*utf8Title:true
or used UXTerm, when possible.
Now I wanted to switch to urxvt, mainly for the reason of trimming my system. I got it to use the same font xterm does by setting the following in .Xresources.
URxvt*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-120-75-75-c-60-iso10646-1
Urxvt is now displaying all characters as it should, however some characters are antialiased and the boxes don't render nicely.
I've attached a comparison of xterm (left side) and uxrvt (right side) displaying the same file (UTF-8-Demo.txt, attached below). If you pay attention to the japanese characters and the boxes near the bottom, you'll see what I mean.
Does anybody know what might be causing the problem?
Thanks for your help! :)
