Other programs (like xterm, gvim and other gtk2 based programs)

In xterm:

xterm -fa "Tahoma 24" -fs 24

@Thomas: Do you know what is causing this?
I'm not sure what "wide paddings" refers to. A quick check on my Debian
machine shows I can run
xterm -fa "Tahoma 24" -fs 24
xterm -fa "Tahoma" -fs 24
with the same effect. Perhaps the Xft library is ignoring the part after
the space. The -fs option is what actually determines the size.
