rxvt on cygwin
I have occasionally had the rxvt window enter a display mode where the display font has excessive spacing between each character which makes the window rather unreadable. This happened again after one of my recent updates. I was unable to 'resolve' the problem but I did find the following workaround.
Download and install the following font package, Lucida Console Font Package. Then invoke rxvt as follows:
@echo off C: chdir C:\cygwin\bin rxvt -fn "Lucida ConsoleP-12" -fg black -bg white -ls --geometry 120x80
$ cat rxvt.bat @echo off C: chdir C:\cygwin\bin REM rxvt -fn "Lucida Console-14" -fg black -bg white -ls --geometry 90x60 rxvt -fn "Lucida Console-14" -fg lightblue -bg midnightblue -ls --geometry 90x60 REM rxvt -fg black -bg white -ls --geometry 120x80 -sl 2000
