Iʼm not sure about that. On macOS, this is

emacs -Q -font Consolas

And this is the same build, but in a terminal window using Consolas

[Message part 5 (text/plain, inline)]

In the gui version, the cursor looks like it extends 1 pixel below
each component character, whilst in the '-nw' on the bottom of the
cursor lines up exactly.

If I use something else like Menlo, there are horizontal white lines,
but the cursor lines up with the bottom of the characters.
