Font rendering problems with Powerline glyphs in terminus-font-ttf

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to set up my favourite font in urxvt with enabled powerline glyphs to use in vim.
I installed the terminus-font-ttf package und looked for the glyphs with fontforge and found not just them, there where devicons and some more also patched in. But these glyphs looked edgy, skewed partly. Also, inserting them in zsh via echo "\uE0B0" did not work for most of them. Ive done two screenshots to show the issue.

output of locale:

LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8"

Font settings in .Xresources:

Xft.autohint: 1
Xft.dpi: 118
Xft.antialias: true
Xft.rgba: rgb
Xft.hinting: true
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault

!URxvt.font: xft:Hurmit:style=NerdFontCompleteMono:pixelsize=13
!URxvt.boldFont: xft:Hurmit:style=NerdFontCompleteMono:pixelsize=13

URxvt.font: xft:Terminus (TTF):style=Medium:pixelsize=12 \
            xft:Sans:size=12:antialias=true \
            xft:Symbola:size=12:antialias=true

URxvt.boldFont: xft:Terminus (TTF):style:Medium:pixelsize=12
!URxvt.italicFont: xft:Terminus (TTF):style:Italic:pixelsize=16
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8"

Font is terminus-font-ttf (package)
/usr/share/fonts/TTF/TerminusTTF.ttf (File)

Any suggestions what to look out for?
