Vertical alignment issues on certain glyphs under some terminals

[franciscod]

(basically a crosspost from kovidgoyal/kitty#2086, which I'll quote)

Something's wrong with the alignment on the Kitty terminal emulator:

 AÁA
 EÉE
 IÍI
 OÓO
 UÚU

I don't remember seeing this issue with other fonts. On the other hand, termite seems to render this just fine.

Is there additional information that I can provide? Any experiments that I could make?

Sorry, can't reproduce the issue here ... which OS are you running?

[franciscod]

This happened on Arch Linux.

Apparently there's something wrong with the grid fitting and seems solvable?

The TrueType instructions for Sudo are done in Glyphs.app but the accented letters actually don’t have any instructions of their own, only the ones inherited from the components. Weird …

@franciscod I have tracked the issue down to the vertical metrics of the fonts. I have found a fix, but it changes the default line height of the font, so I’m not sure I like it ;)

Anyway, check out the new release 0.41.

Thanks! I hope you find the way to tweak it to your liking soon :)
