so to me.. smells of a broken font. as such terminals dont care about
ascent/descent as they dont have to align the baseline with other fonts. they
can assume the single mono font for everything. it's just a series of the same
sized boxes in a grid, but when you combine with all the other text - it's
REALLY needed the BASELINE for all the text must line up - that means the line
from which ascent and descent is given... and those 2 give the effective line
height of the font (ascent+descent).

so.. smells of broken font to me. :)
