Package: xterm
Version: 4.3.0-0pre1v4
Severity: normal
With certain fonts and font sizes in Xft mode, xterm draws characters so
that they partially lie in the character cell below; these characters
are subsequently not erased properly, leading to an unsightly display.
This is particularly noticeable with the "_" character in Andale Mono at
large sizes.
This is fixed in the latest upstream xterm; looking at the upstream
changelog I believe the relevant change is patch #180:
make height of TrueType fonts match ascent+descent (patch by
Keith Packard).
That upstream version also makes underlining work with Xft rendering,
which would be nice to have too.
Cheers,
Cameron.

Nope. Might as well close it.
