In fact, character widths at 11pt are the same as at 12pt, which can be easily verified in the following way: * Use a regular density (~100 dpi) display * Open MATE Terminal * Edit the current profile, selecting Ubuntu Mono 12 as the font, and apply changes. * Edit the profile again, changing the font size to 11. Apply changes and observe how the window resizes: it will shrink in height but maintain the same width. This is undesirable for a number of reasons: * Stability: drastically altering font may cause all kinds of display issues (and use cases for monospaced fonts are likely to be even more vulnerable to this) * Screen real estate: text at 11pt now takes up considerably more size (width is the same as it is at 12pt) * Aesthetics: 11pt test looks unnaturally stretched out.
