I have a height scaling factor of 1.0001 in my configuration file, and the only reason I even bothered to implement the kerning patch in the first place was to work around a rendering issue that crops up with Deja Vu Sans mono; see [1] for more information. In my Xresources file I have "xterm*scaleHeight: 1.0000001" to fix the issue in xterm. To make the underscore show up, I need the line height to be exactly one pixel larger, so I pick a value just large enough to make it round up no more than one pixel.
