Bug Description
Summary:
In Gnome 2.26.0 (as found in Jaunty Beta) GNOME Terminal features very large tracking (letter-spacing) compared to its predecessor. This is bad from an æsthetic point of view, not configurable, wasteful of screen real-estate space. No other changes in pango or fontconfig have been experienced between Intrepid and Jaunty. The issue is limited to GNOME Terminal, and is exhibited irrespectively of the monospaced font used.
Expected Results:
Either tighter or configurable default tracking in GNOME Terminal.
Actual Results:
Very large, not configurable tracking in GNOME Terminal, different to previous versions.

If the maintainers feel that this is an upstream bug, please let me know and I'll open a bug report on the GNOME bugzilla --- or they could do so themselves.
