I've been trying to configure Emacs/X11 so that it would mostly look the same as Emacs/Win. To that end, at least on my machine it seems necessary to override the DPI setting when starting the server (dpi=96) and then the line heights become the same. I've been unsuccessful so far with getting the run width of the characters the same for any TrueType font: the "regular" shape for most fonts looks like it has been boldened — indeed, for Consolas the resulting width of the glyphs is exactly the same as for the "bold" shape, only with much worse hinting.
Is there anything I can do about that vie configuration or is this a bug in the font rendering engine? Using Consolas with rxvt renders the font correctly, so it may have to do with Gtk also.
