and possibly the applications themselves. In the case of xterm, it uses the inaccurate, rounded "ascent" and "descent" values of FT_Size_Metrics that are passed by FreeType via Xft (set up by XftFontOpenPattern). Instead, the accurate values from FT_Face should be used. [1] However, I don't know whether Xft provides them in some way. They are not in the XftFont structure.
