I have the same issue.

URxvt.letterspace fixed the problem partially, fonts still doesn't look
as good as in other (gnome and non-gnome) apps.

I just switched from Archlinux to Ubuntu. I was using urxvt for years on
Archlinux and was rendering my fonts fine, the same way as the rest of
the desktop.

I don't think letterspace option is needed here. If it works fine on
other distros without this patch then it should be possible to make it
work on Ubuntu. Maybe it's some configure/compile time switch/option
related to Xft?
