Hello ismise, I've marked this as a dup of bug #727733 ("Technical: Mono: discern level of scaling to fit in terminal cell") to try and keep the discussion in one place. I'm happy to undup it and try to recap the situation if you'd like me to. (In a nutshell, it's intentional and followed a large amount of discussion).
