I find the printed/actual design of DejaVu Sans Mono too wide. The hinting at 9pt makes it look taller, and I like the resulting glyphs.
How can I make the entire font look that way (taller, adjusted glyphs)? If I can't do this, I may create a vertically stretched version of DejaVu Sans. Maybe I may even redraw the glyphs to create my own font that looks like DejaVu 9pt, even when printed out.
