DUMB: support tex fonts

- further improvements to the careful mode detection, and font width
detection:
- fully double-wide fonts will now be correctly treated,

+ Why doesn't rxvt-unicode read my resources?
+ Well, why, indeed? It does, in a way very similar to other X
+ applications. Most importantly, this means that if you or your OS
+ loads resources into the X display (the right way to do it),
+ rxvt-unicode will ignore any resource files in your home directory.
+ It will only read $HOME/.Xdefaults when no resources are attached to
+ the display.
+
+ If you have or use an $HOME/.Xresources file, chances are that
+ resources are loaded into your X-server. In this case, you have to
+ re-login after every change (or run xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xresources).
+
+ Also consider the form resources have to use:
+
+ URxvt.resource: value
+
+ If you want to use another form (there are lots of different ways of
+ specifying resources), make sure you understand wether and why it
+ works. If unsure, use the form above.
+
+ I can't get transparency working, what am I doing wrong?
+ First of all, transparency isn't officially supported in
+ rxvt-unicode, so you are mostly on your own. Do not bug the author
+ about it (but you may bug everybody else). Also, if you can't get it
+ working consider it a rite of passage, and you failed.
+
+ Here are three ways to get transparency. Do read the manpage and
+ option descriptions for the programs mentioned and rxvt-unicode.
+ Really, do it!
+
+ 1. Use inheritPixmap:
+
+ Esetroot wallpaper.jpg
+ rxvt -ip -tint red -sh 40
+
+ That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack transparency and
+ tinting support, or you are unable to read.
+
+ 2. Use a simple pixmap and emulate pseudo-transparency. This enables
+ you to use effects other than tinting and shading: Just
+ shade/tint/whatever your picture with gimp:
+
+ convert wallpaper.jpg -blur 20x20 -modulate 30 background.xpm
+ rxvt -pixmap background.xpm -pe automove-background
+
+ That works. If you think it doesn't, you lack XPM and Perl support,
+ or you are unable to read.
+
+ 3. Use an ARGB visual:
+
+ rxvt -depth 432 -fg grey90 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/c000
+
+ This requires XFT support, and support form your X-server. If that
+ doesn't work for you, blame Xorg and Keith Packard. ARGB visuals
+ aren't there yet, no matter what they claim. Rxvt-Unicode contains
+ the neccessary bugfixes and workarounds for Xft and Xlib to make it
+ work.
+
Isn't rxvt supposed to be small? Don't all those features bloat?
I often get asked about this, and I think, no, they didn't cause
extra bloat. If you compare a minimal rxvt and a minimal urxvt, you
