Like you, I found this problem unbearable -- I don't feel comfortable unless the letters are exactly 1 unit wide, 2 units high.
I can't remember exactly where I got this from but if you Googled the fella's name and some of the patch content I imagine you'd find it. The attached patch adds a letterSpace option which you can set to a negative value to crunch the letters together. It works fine along with the 256 colour patch. (Though I can't get it to compile at all even without patches on Karmic, 64 or 32 bit, but that's in the bug I'm going to report right after posting this...) You then add the line URxvt.letterSpace: -1 to your .Xdefaults. I found that on I need this on my work machine and my laptop but not on my home desktop. I'm not sure why -- possibly something to do with the DPI values of the screens. ** Attachment added: "add letterSpace option" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/37462598/rxvt-unicode-letter-spacing.patch -- rxvt-unicode: Excessive font spacing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/309792 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
