So I localized problem with font hinting. I've been always using font
hinting slight, but with 16.04 release I had to disable font hinting to
get back original look of my Dejavu Sans Mono book font as it was in
15.10.
Maybe there is issue in font hinting in previous releases, where it
actually doesn't work while enabled.

Title:
"Monospace Regular 8" became wider
Status in fontconfig package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I've been using gnome-terminal with "Monospace Regular 8" for years,
which always had a 6x13 px font size (the same size as xterm, just
nicer antialiasing).
With yesterday's update in Xenial, it became wider: 7x13 px each cell
(and less pleasing to my eyes).
The neighbor sizes "Monospace Regular 7" is 5px wide, "Monospace
Regular 9" is 7px wide just as "Monospace Regular 8", only taller. So
it doesn't make sense for me for "Monospace Regular 8" to be 7px wide
instead of 6px in between the two neighboring sizes as it used to be.
(No clue which package is the culprit, sorry.)
