Vrinda is part of a default install of Windows XP (I wouldn't know how it got installed on my VM's otherwise). The 'Vista' fonts, installed by Vista, Office 2007, Office 2008 Mac have an aspect ratio as follows: Calibri 0.467 sans-serif Cambria 0.467 serif Candara 0.464 sans-serif Constantia 0.453 serif Corbel 0.464 sans-serif Times New Roman 0.448 All those 'vista fonts' have a 'normal' line-height equivalent to ~1.220.
