I'm trying to set the font of my urxvt terminal. It seems to be working fine for text with no colors, whereas colored text is displayed differently: 
As you can see the colored upper-case letters have the same height as the x-height of the non-colored text. What gives?
For reference the font-related properties I have in my .Xdefaults is:
URxvt.allow_bold: true
URxvt*font: xft:source code pro:regular:pixelsize=18;hinting=True;antialias:True
URxvt*imFont: xft:source code pro:regular:pixelsize=18;hinting=True;antialias:True
URxvt*boldFont: xft:source code pro:semibold:pixelsize=18;hinting=True;antialias:True
URxvt*italicFont: xft:source code pro:italic:pixelsize=18;hinting=True;antialias:True
URxvt*boldItalicFont: xft:source code:semibold:italic:pixelsize=18;hinting=True;antialias:True
URxvt*letterSpace: -1

Ah indeed. I've changed all the fonts to be the same family now. Yet it persists.
