Also, are you certain your changes are going into effect? You could test it by setting the bounding boxes to something ridiculously small like 0.5 for ch/cwscale or something like 6 pixels if you're using absolute values. Eric

I did fool around with your patch and the dejavu font: when I forced the pixel size I got those gaps. Not to mention the anti-aliasing seems to be involved. It looks like we are digging out freetype/ttf demons? -- Sylvain

I've had this same problem since I upgraded to Debian 10. I believe this is due to changes in character bounding box sizes because you can fix this by adjusting cwscale and chscale. On my systems, I only have vertical gaps, and setting chscale to 0.94 removes them. I submitted a patch to the mailing list to allow both values to be specified using absolute values of pixels instead of multipliers (https://lists.suckless.org/hackers/1907/16943.html) so you can ensure bounding boxes were always the same size regardless of what the font library reports character dimensions to be, but it was not committed.

Re: [dev] [st] monospace rendering gaps
Could it be your fonts.conf (or similar)? The box looks fine to me (+ - | :S). I haven't noticed anything unusual but i use liberation mono.
