[ft] cell size changed for terminal font

[Wilson]

I don't know if this is the right mailing list to use, but since
updating to FreeType 2.8-2, the cell size in my terminal
emulator(urxvt) for DejaVu Sans Mono, size 9, has changed from 7x14 to
7x15. I'd like to know what triggered this change and if there's any way
to make it go back to 7x14 while staying on 2.8.

Right now I'm using 2.7.1-5, since having 7x15 kind of breaks my window
layout. There's nothing online(that I've found with keywords) about
forcing a font height despite giving it a size like in
Xft:Family:size=9.

Has anyone else had their font change height suddenly?
