DetailsDescription:
After upgrading libxft from 2.2.0-2 to 2.3.0-2, rxvt-unicode renders my dejavu-ttf font incorrectly. Attached image shows two instances of rxvt-unicode, with the one on the right showing the incorrect rendering of my font, specified as: xft:Deja Vu Sans Mono:pixelsize=11:style=Condensed And the left shows an instance after downgrading back to 2.2.0-2. I imagine the problem is that urxvt needs to be relinked against the new libxft. Additional info: * rxvt-unicode version 9.15-1

Not a linking issue:
$ ldd =urxvt|grep Xft
libXft.so.2 => /usr/lib/libXft.so.2 (0x00007f773f9dd000)
$ ll /usr/lib/libXft.so.2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2012-03-12 21:23 /usr/lib/libXft.so.2 -> libXft.so.2.3.0
I've the same display with xterm and urxvt. Can you please confirm you hjave the same rendering with xterm and urxvt?
Maybe new version of libXft introduce drawback.
I don't know how I can be more clear about "renders my dejavu-ttf font incorrectly" -- it has nothing to do with my color scheme, can you not see that the right terminal is completely different? The spacing is all wrong and the characters have less width.
Your ldd test doesn't show it is not a linking issue. All it shows is that its linked against libXft.so.2, not a specific version.
xterm -fa 'xft:Deja Vu Sans Mono:pixelsize=11:style=Condensed'
and rxvt-unicode with:
urxvt -fn 'xft:Deja Vu Sans Mono:pixelsize=11:style=Condensed'
__Do you see your issue in my screenshot__ (one window/both windows)?

If you do not see it, build urxvt and see if it change something.
EDIT: Oh, after rebooting, it turns out that the problem came back. Weird :) (so WHY did the problem disappeared when I downgraded?)
EDIT2: Downgrading libxft to 2.2 seems to work.
