I haven't delved deeper into the issue, but I've noticed strange goings on with bitmap font handling in Xorg. FVWM is particularly affected on my system, producing much too tall window titles with a completely normal bitmap font like Helvetica.

It seems to be some kind of combination of font, Xorg version and window manager version causing it and I've noticed it in TWM, too - but not yet in CTWM. Compiling TWM from source gives different results than when using the TWM package supplied with my distribution.

If you haven't already, I suggest you try to compile the latest version of CTWM from source on your machine. Perhaps that will resolve the issue.

Best regards
Carl
