Use single-width glyphs

[blueyed]

All (or at least) most glyphs appear to be wider than the normal characters (double width), and therefore an additional space gets appended.

Unfortunately the URxvt terminal does not handle those like gVim or libvte-based terminals (e.g. gnome-terminal) do (ref).

Would it be possible to only use a single character cell (as wide as a M then probably)?

Thanks for the feedback. Yes this limitation was brought to my attention previously: http://www.reddit.com/r/vim/comments/2nforo/vimwebdevicons_adds_file_type_glyphs_icons_to/

I have tried just briefly to make them appear correctly in urxvt but I will need to research and experiment a bit more

Cool!
Let me know if I can help. I've started looking into fontforge (installed it).
