nope. your content-type was the same; and i opened it up in two
different rxvt's one (the smaller one) spawned like this:
% rxvt -fn -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso8859-15 -name jhriv
the other using whatever font is the default
-b&h-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-normal-sans-14-100-100-100-m-80-iso8859-1
you can see the differences for yourself at:
