xlsfonts *fixed*

or

xlsfonts \*x*  
(look for the 8x16 style of screen font)

or (from O'Reilly's _Running_Linux_)

xlsfonts -fn -*-*-*-*-*--*-*-*-*-m-*-*-* 

That lists all of the "mono-spaced" fonts.  

Starting rxvt with a -fn option and one of these fonts should give you what 
you want.  You can also set up your Xresources so all rxvts use that font, 
but on my machines I always just set up a label for things like this. :)
