Double-spacing might be related to the font metrics.  I rearranged large
chunks of the font handling code yesterday and the code path the terminal
takes to find out how large text got goofed up a bit.  It should be fixed
in CVS and in the next snapshot.

It should be handling colors just fine, though.  Is the shell alias for
ls to 'ls --color=tty' not being set?  Is the LS_COLORS environment
variable being set?
