Yeah, I can reproduce the gaps even when using Menlo.
But using Monaco (which, if memory serves, may even be the default font)
results in the gaps, even with line spacing and character spacing set to
1. Also, if you look at the screenshot carefully, you can see that the
lines don't seem to align perfectly horizontally either. Anyway, I
submitted a bug report with Apple (bug # 12604329), so thanks for the
suggestions.
Of the other fixed fonts, Courier also seems to exhibit the problem.
Courier new and Anandale Mono do not.
