I just updated to rxvt-20050409-7, and the font changed to a very weird
display using a proportional-width font, but displayed with each
character left-aligned within a fixed-size area which appears to
correspond to the largest character within the font.

At a guess, this is because the new /etc/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt specifies
"bitstream vera sans mono" and I have no font by that name.

If that's the case, it is a bug for the rxvt package to depend on a
non-standard font for its default display.

Max.
