GTK3 Font Rendering Different Than GTK2

I'm trying to tweak my GTK3 theme to better match the GTK2 theme, and I'm having a bit of trouble with font rendering.  The first problem is that GTK3 shows texts one size bigger than GTK2...I have to go into the setting.ini file for GTK3 and set it one size lower to match GTK2's size.  The font is still being rendered differently even after I do that...There's less space between letters.

Top is GTK3 and bottom is GTK2.

I'm using Droid Sans Mono at size 8 (set to size 7 for GTK3).  The antialiasing and hinting options are the same for both.  I'm using DWM if that matters.

Thank you for your help.
