You might experience slightly larger, or smaller, fonts in e g #foot after upgrading #fcft to 3.1.8 (just now tagged and released).
This is expected, as fcft is now using FreeType size-setting APIs with higher-resolution parameters.
A simplified explanation is that fcft used to round the size (the pixel size, not the point size) to the nearest integer. Now it doesn't.
For those interested: here's the fcft patch: https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fcft/pulls/63
