Hi,

I'm wondering why fixed font with height of 16 won't give me full 30 
lines in osso-xterm but 29 lines plus one empty line on the bottom. 
Anyone knows answer to this mystery?

My theory is that there is 1 pixel border around terminal widget (but 
not scrollbar) so it won't fit because of 1 or 2 missing pixel lines on 
the bottom. If you set border in osso-xterm to white an run some 
fullscreen terminal application with colored background (like midnight 
commander) there is thin white line around it.

I have searched matchbox and gtk theme files, diablo version of 
osso-xterm and libvte sources but did not find anything suspicious. Ideas?

Since the color of the border actually changes when changing osso-xterm 
window background color setting it looks like terminal widget gets full 
area for drawing but still the font is drawn with thin border i.e like 
drawn at 1,1 coordinates instead of 0,0.
