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:
