I was about to suggest the same thing. I think I had some UTF-8 font
related changes at some point in the past. Mainly because the UTF-8
fonts contain so many more characters, the maximum ascenders and
descenders are a lot bigger than with more limited Latin-1 character
sets.

I think there was even some code change somewhere in ctwm to compensate
for this, but I'm now trying very hard to remember where that was...

(and currently `bzr qlog` has broken on my system... claiming it can't
find a module named sip, even though I have sip for both python 2.7 and
3.7...)
