RXVT is a VT102 terminal emulator for both X and Windows.
This is a bugfix update (as was the -2 release, which I neglected to
announce). This release should correct the issues with
font-size-changing in native windows mode, reported

Thanks to Gilbert, Cheetah, and rene.
The -2 release fixed an issue where rxvt would hide a user's interactive
bash-in-cmd.exe session.
Changes since 20050409-2:
---------------------------------
* Implement XTranslateCoords() within libW11 in an attempt to get
smart resizing to work. Discover that most Xservers lie about
upper-left-corner position of client windows, such that WM decorations
are already accounted for -- and thus the small section rxvt code
within the smart-resize function that "compensates" for WM decorations
is not active with "real" Xservers.
But libW11 doesn't lie about WM decorations.And rxvt's "compensation"
code -- active in this case -- is hopelessly broken.
Don't use --enable-smart-resize.
Changes since 20050409-1:
---------------------------------
* Removed hide_console code. As it happens, the W11 wrapper
library already had similar -- smarter -- code for hiding
the console. This pre-existing code did not hide the console
rxvt was invoked via a bash-in-cmd.exe shell, whereas the now-removed
code did do so. Thus, invoking 'rxvt' from the command line in such
a shell permanently hid the user's existing session. This was bad.
* However, this means we will need a different solution for when we
invoke rxvt via a script and WANT the script's console hidden.
See http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-05/msg00403.html
* Turned on support for 24bit visuals (may only have effect when in
X mode), as well as selection scrolling.
