urxvt dynamic font switching nuances

By changing the font size dynamically (using the printf...007 method mentioned in urxvt(7)), some font spacing issues seem to be introduced:

In the doctored screenshot, lines one to four are urxvt open with DejaVu Sans Mono 9. In lines five to eight, I switch to size=11. Notice how the font spacing and size of the ls output is wrong. The remaining lines are of a new urxvt instance with the expected results.

I've tried setting the font size in .Xdefaults and reloading with xrdb load... to no avail.

Any thoughts?

Re: urxvt dynamic font switching nuances

Which package are you using for urxvt? rxvt-unicode from [extra]?
