I've been playing around with xterm with Xft fonts, and with all of the
fonts I've tried the lines spacing seems too large. For 8-12pt sizes
there are typically 2 pixels of seemingly unused space. I'm looking
for as many rows as I can get in a given xterm size with a readable
font, so I'd like to get rid of that unused white space. I tried a few
things, and found that setting the font height to ascent + descent
instead of what Xft reports as the height solves this. Is there a reason
why this is a bad thing to do for something like xterm?
