Re: recent libx* upgrade issues

Turns out this is not a new problem. Here is the patched version of urxvt without the font width issue:

today's update to ttf-inconsolata fixed my problem.

Sorry to bring that old one up, but when sorting out old pkgs today I found I still hat libxft in Ignore. I changed this but encountered the same old problem with Bitstream Vera Sans so I changed to Inconsolata but have the feeling the letters are a bit too wide apart from each other. When using rxvt-unicode-patched, I don't encounter this behaviour.
Looks like this:

I have the following line in .Xresources:

URxvt*font:             xft:Inconsolata:pixelsize=15:antialias=true

Is there any option that I could use to avoid this or should I rather avoid unpatched urxvt?

Best,

Jakob

I prefer that a lot over using patched urxvt. Thanks!
