Details

In rxvt-unicode, many characters are now displayed improperly for ttf-inconsolata (for example, "w" and "%" show the notdef "square" glyph). If I downgrade to 2.0.0.1-3, everything works again.

This is reproducible with the following rxvt-unicode/Xresources configuration:

```
% pacman -Q rxvt-unicode
rxvt-unicode 9.22-9
% cat .config/x/xresources/lin
*.font: xft:Inconsolata:size=14
URxvt.letterSpace: -1
```
This task depends upon

This is supposedly fixed in recent libxft [1]. Either way, I'm failing to see how this is an Arch packaging problem.
