rxvt default font setting is awful, at least on vista.
Here is a screenshot:

comparing the default font with some other font settings (terminal,
lucida console, 7x14)
rxvt --help which should report used resources says:
$ rxvt --help 2>&1 | grep font:
font: fontname
app-defaults/Rxvt has:
Rxvt*font: -bitstream-bitstream vera sans
mono-medium-r-normal--*-160-*-*-m-*-iso8859-1
I guess the bad looking font is because I do not have this font
installed on the system, does it come with cygwin? I haven't found a
package for that.
I suggest changing the default font setting for cygwin rxvt.
