Thank you. That was it.

Because the font selection in Emacs behaved strange and didn't 
apply my the font
size (which I guess is still a bug?) I thought it may be Emacs 
related as it was
the only application I saw this kind of error in.

For future reference by others:
I switched from the Xorg video "intel" driver to the built-in 
"modesetting"
driver.

For reference I will include two screenshots in case it may be 
useful for someone else down the road.

Thanks again!
