Lucid's hints with InconsolataLGC:

WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS):
                user specified size: 1714 by 1723
                program specified minimum size: 51 by 140
                program specified resize increment: 17 by 37
                program specified base size: 51 by 140
                window gravity: NorthWest

GTK's hints with InconsolataLGC:

WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS):
                program specified minimum size: 64 by 324
                program specified resize increment: 16 by 36
                program specified base size: 64 by 168
                window gravity: NorthWest

GTK's hints with "Inconsolata LGC" are the same, though:

WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS):
                program specified minimum size: 64 by 324
                program specified resize increment: 16 by 36
                program specified base size: 64 by 168
                window gravity: NorthWest
