Too tall? Did you mean too short? If fonts are rendering taller now, then that is another problem that's not yet been investigated.
My Gnome terminal windows have all gone taller and less wide as a result of the change. I use Liberation Mono Regular font at 8 points, with autohinting turned on (looks better on my screens).
There are other changes as well in Evo, Pidgin etc. Essentially, the metrics of fonts changed significantly, which is a visual regression. If I turn autohinter off, I do not get such changes at all.
