This is what your example text looks like using 9pt Vera Sans Mono on my Fedora Core 4 installation in SciTE and in gedit which look identical to me. Antialiasing is turned on. http://scintilla.sourceforge.net/VeraMono.png The shell window is set to the same font and is showing the last stroke of "m" cut off. Possibly this is the effect you are seeing with Scintilla. It may depend on font scaling.
