I don't really know the history behind this issue, but i did some
digging/testing.
When i configure my ~/.Xdefaults as only:
URxvt.font: xft:Monospace
I get the behavior described in this bug. If I do a `xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults`
from the command line, I get no change in behavior. HOWEVER, if I instead
execute `xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults`, then open a new terminal, line spacing is
proper. Looking at the scripts in the /etc/ directory, i believe Ubuntu loads
the ~/.Xdefaults using -merge.
Digging deeper with xrdb -query, I added added the following line to my
.Xdefaults:
Xft.rgba: rgb
Then the problem re-appears.
Workaround for issue described in bug:
run `xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults` sometime early in the xinit process.
letterspace patch seems hackish if issue can be worked around as above
