After upgrade, line height increased by 1 pixel.

I must admit I only upgrade my Arch installation once in a while. So, today is the day. Everything went more or less smoothly, but unfortunately the urxvt window doesn't look the same. Almost, but... there are 6 lines less in a full height terminal. Additionally, it started showing bold letters (it never did before), but this is rather a benefit.

I superimposed the old and new terminal screenshots and noticed that on the new terminal, line height is 1 pixel more. I also had to tweak inter-character spacing, but on that in the next paragraph.

As far as my googling skills went, there is no handy XFT option I could set in ~/.Xresources to change inter-line spacing in urxvt. I do have an option for inter-character spacing set to -2 in my Xresources, but I have to update it to -1 now to obtain the same $COLUMNS value as before. So, apparently, both character height and width increased by 1 pixel.

As far as I remember, among the 1000+ packages I updated today, rxvt-unicode is absent. So, this must be a change in some font rendering library. Which one may that be?

Actually what I said is wrong, urxvt binary was upgraded. I will try to downgrade and see if I have my line height back.
