You might check the difference between the following, for your linespacing
problems...

xterm -fa monospace-8:minspace=true
xterm -fa monospace-8


Aparently many fonts have broken vertical sizes and the 'minspace=true'
argument tells xft to calculate the font hight by looking at the highest
ascenders and lowest descenders rather than trusting the font's encoded
height.

There was a discussion on this recently on the devel@xfree86.org mailing
list...
