| I can reproduce this with the default config and:
|
| xterm -fa Monospace -fs 10 -xrm "Xft.dpi: 132"
|
| (the "Xft.dpi: 132" is important).
I did that (and other values of ".dpi") without seeing any other effect than
the one for which I made a workaround: detecting the improper rounding and
forcing xterm's internal line-drawing in that case. The line-drawing glyphs
were effectively shorter than some of the other characters.
