This has happened to me also in precise with Gnome Terminal.  In
oneiric, I used to be able to get two 80-wide Terminals next to each
other with Ubuntu Mono 14 in a 1600x1200 screen.  In precise, these
overlap now and I have to bump them down to UM 13, which isn't as
readable and also feels like there is more space between characters.
Interestingly enough, I did not have to change my Emacs settings, where
I have two 80-wide windows using UM with a "height" of 136 (Emacs claims
they are 1/10 pt settings, so I'm not sure if those are 14pt, 13pt or
13.6pt - in oneiric they looked the same as 14pt in Terminal, IIRC).

I'll upload some precise screen shots soon.

Title:
  Increased terminal padding under precise: 160 columns of 8-pixel wide
  no longer fit at 72 point on 1280 pixel display

Status in Gnome Virtual Terminal Emulator:
  Invalid
Status in “light-themes” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “vte” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Laptop screen resolution is 1280x800.

  Set gnome-terminal font to Ubuntu Mono 11.

  In Oneiric, I was able to fit two terminals side by side without any
  overlap. In fact, they fit without overlap and without causing the
  launcher to autohide.

  After upgrading to Precise, the terminals now push over into the
  launcher area, causing it to autohide, and even then, they still
  overlap. Notice the terminal on the right, the 'a' in 'achiang' is
  covered up by the terminal on the left.
