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
