The "jumping in certain, discrete intervals" (in TextHeight, as well as in TextWidth) -
is instead caused by the Font-Rendering-APIs, due to their "restriction", to:
- render a certain Glyph to "whole Pixels" (to exact Pixel-Boundaries)
- so that the ClearType-stuff can kick in afterwards (SubPixel-based Antialiasing via an LCDs "RGB-Slots")
-- Thanks for your detailed explanation and clearing things up.

Since TTF, vector created was implied.
