Certain characters "glitch" in urxvt

This has bothered me before. It seemed to go away at some point, but now it has come back:
I'm using rxvt-unicode and the Consolas font, and the "w" character (and only ever the "w" character)
is shown like this:

Anyone have an ideas why this might happen or how I might resolve this problem?
Thanks.

Interesting, but it's not the issue. Here are a few more details:
- I'm using Xft.
- I am using the infinality font patches.
- I want the fonts to be anti-aliased.
- The problem occurs with font-size 14 but not 16.
- The problem occurs only with the bold character w.
- The problem occurs in vim but not in gvim.

Here is my configuration:

/* Font configuration */
Xft.rgba: rgbft*dpi: 96
Xft.autohint: true
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
Xft.hinting: true
Xft.antialias: true

/* URxvt configuration */
urxvt.saveLines: 1000
urxvt.scrollBar: false
urxvt.secondaryScroll: true
urxvt.font: xft:consolas:pixelsize=14
urxvt.urgentOnBell: true

/* Disable Perl extensions */
urxvt.perl-ext-common:

urxvt*inheritPixmap: true
urxvt*shading: 5
