Bug#531914: libvte9: wider spacing of characters

[Alexandre Rossi]

Package: libvte9
Version: 1:0.16.14-4
Severity: minor

Hi,

When upgrading libvte9 1:0.17.4-2+b1 -> 1:0.20.1-1, spacing between characters
changed. See the attached screenshot in which the top terminal uses 0.20 and
the bottom one uses 0.17 (both terminals are 80 columns wide).

This is very annoying for me because it means that I cannot fit two terminals
side-by-side on my 1024 pixels wide screen anymore, with a decent font size.

Feel free to ask for more info,

Alex
