Title:
  "Monospace Regular 8" became wider

Status in fontconfig package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I've been using gnome-terminal with "Monospace Regular 8" for years,
  which always had a 6x13 px font size (the same size as xterm, just
  nicer antialiasing).

  With yesterday's update in Xenial, it became wider: 7x13 px each cell
  (and less pleasing to my eyes).

  The neighbor sizes "Monospace Regular 7" is 5px wide, "Monospace
  Regular 9" is 7px wide just as "Monospace Regular 8", only taller. So
  it doesn't make sense for me for "Monospace Regular 8" to be 7px wide
  instead of 6px in between the two neighboring sizes as it used to be.

  (No clue which package is the culprit, sorry.)
