Nope, that looks different.

I have the Andale Mono font installed...
Ok, I'll attach a screenshot now, to clarify this.
The attached screenshot was taken from a line of
/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm -fa "andale mono" -fs 10
The displayed font is in no way Andale Mono (the digit '0' in Andale
Mono has a small dot in the middle). I have to clarify that the
horizontal spacing seems to be correct, but the vertical spacing seems
to be too large in comparison to the letters. In this way I need to
give "-fs 10" in order to get the same amount of lines into an xterm
with the same physical geometry and the
'-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1' font.
Kind regards
Friedel
