strange.... double-checked it:

- 16*16 characters = 256 'tiles'
 
- normal font: 16 * 18 px (image size: 256 * 288)
- big font : 20 * 22 px (image size: 320 * 360)
- small font : 8 * 9 px (image size: 128 * 144)

The height of each of the rows seems to be right.

The two empty rows were ment as a placeholder for charakters that
ain't printable (such as Enter, ESC, etc.)
I thought it would be a nice thing to have graphical representations
of those one day...
e.g. a small TAB-key for charakter 9 (Horizontal Tab ~ HT).

The grid-size is perfectly OK -- dunno what might 've happend when you
say 'these two spaces are not equivalent to two heights) ...
the two empty rows have exactly the height of two charakters!
Redid the scale down once again just to make sure (original size of my
charakters was 32*36 in ascii_big.xcf).
Please try the new atari_letters.tar.gz and tell me if the height still
ain't alright.

Anyway ... if you're of the opinion that we don't need the two lines as a
placeholder for graphical representation of non-printable characters
I'll remove them.
