Issue

The glyphs and line height are significantly larger than two other Tibetan fonts that I tested at the same specified font size.

Here's an example comparing it to the 'Jomolhari' font:

I don't think this is a problem. I'd say that conversely the glyphs in Jomolhari are too small, especially when you look at them in relationship to the Latin glyphs as in your example.

@simoncozens Fair, but are you sure it needs all that line height?

[simoncozens]

Yes, because of the (high) possibility of stacking. At any rate, we set vertical metrics according to our best practices guide.
