You have to check what's the default font [1] or if you changed it [2].

There was a thread on the list, long ago, about the default being a font=20
that comes with the X11 fonts.  I'm not sure what's the case right now,=20
but a widely-spaced font sounds like a font that you have installed but=20
lacks the necessary hints (that's a X11 font term).

[1] /etc/defaults/etc/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt or URxvt;
[2] ~/.Xdefaults
