The original values for Vertical Metrics in the font significantly differed among sTypo, hhea and Win metrics (images below). The line-height in Safari was too short while in Windows was too tall.

To solve it, following our vertical metrics schema, new values were assigned to seek a balance that would perform more evenly in all platforms.

Great!

After reviewing this further, given the nature of the project, a slightly generous line-height was chosen.
