The general answer is that your pixels are not squares but they are vertical rectangles, so what you expect is not what you see. As for the small difference in quartz vs x11 I think is because of the resizing square at the bottom-right of the quartz window. So you should measure up to that square and you should get the same height. You should notice this effect by creating 3x3 window and look that indeed it appears as a rectangle. hope this helps stefano
