urxvt font behaviour

no matter what font and size I use - there's always a small gap between characters:

here're urxvt on the left with Dejavu Sans mono and gnome-terminal with the same on the opposite

how can it be solved?

Re: urxvt font behaviour

I had same thing after pacman -Syu. Anyway, try monospace font for now. It worked for me

URxvt*font::                    xft:Monospace:pixelsize=11:antialias=true:hinting=true
URxvt*boldFont::                xft:Monospace:pixelsize=11:antialias=true:bold:hinting=true
URxvt*italicFont::              xft:Monospace:pixelsize=11:antialias=true:italic:autohint=true:hinting=true
URxvt*bolditalicFont::          xft:Monospace:pixelsize=11:antialias=true:bold:italic:autohint=true:hinting=true

Re: urxvt font behaviour

Did you remember this

$ xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults

after saving the .Xdefaults file?
