I've never seen this problem on Windows or Ubuntu. Can you supply a screenshot? What font are you using? Does that font not show big spaces in other applications? Is it the same as the font used by your xterm? Is it all letters or just some of them? If it's just some of them, which ones? The only setting I know of that affects character width is 'ambiwidth' but I may be missing some, and that only affects some characters.
