Thanks. So one basically cannot guess how many lines will fit from the point size alone, it depends on specific font and its designer. Quite confusing but nevermind :-) As for the first mystery - I found the solution. vte-0.12.2/src/vte-private.h #define VTE_PAD_WIDTH 1 When changing to 0 and rebuilding libvte4 it fits. Sadly same constant is used for padding width and height which is pretty unfortunate. Left border padding would be nice, without border there is no space and letters touch black LCD border and look a bit strange. Top and bottom border doesn't look so bad. I think splitting VTE_PAD_WIDTH into VTE_PAD_X and VTE_PAD_Y would be useful. And making it variable would be event better. Both for user customization and for computing it at runtime for proper centering when font size doesn't fit exactly.
