Hi Thanh,
I just looked into several afm files.  My first assumption seems to be
correct:  You are using the broken afm files shipped with ghostscript.

I suggest to replace all afm files in urwvn by the files maintained by
Walter.  

[...]
KPX zero four 3
KPX zero one -13
KPX zero seven -22
KPX one comma -50
KPX one eight -47
KPX one five -23
KPX one four -63
KPX one nine -39
KPX one one -38
KPX one period -36
[...]

In order to make Walter's fonts usable for tabulars, remove the line
KPX one one -55
in the afm file and run fontinst again.

Cheers,
  Reinhard
