However I believe that Chromium does some scaling on its own, independent of fontconfig version. My desktop font (from XSETTINGS) is Lucida (luRS10-ISO8859-1.pcf) and it looks horribly scaled in many places in the user interface; elsewhere the spacing is off. FC_DEBUG tells me that Chromium first looks up Terminus with FcFontSort. Afterwards, the pixel size from the CSS is looked up with FcFontMatch but the result isn't used; what's used is the upscaled 12px version. That's really weird. I think I need some more time to figure out what's going on here. > [...] > (BTW, the lack of difference between 12px regular and 12px bold is to > be expected, since there's no 12px bold in this font.

Glyph height of 18/20px is 1px apart; you can tell in your image (e. g. open it in Gimp and use the measuring tool) and it's what I also see when I open ter-u18n.bdf and ter-u20n.bdf in fontforge. 14/16px have identical images even in the source, I can also confirm that in fontforge in ter-u14n.bdf and ter-u16n.bdf.
