The command: urxvt -fn "xft:ProggyClean" results in a terminal that looks like: http://16hz.net/~simon/urxvt.png Unfortunately it's not simply a case of the font size being too big because when I specify a lower pixelsize things look even more messed up. Is this a bug in rxvt-unicode? FreeType? The result of a broken setup? Any help would be appreciated.
