I think I answered that before:

We didn't have much choice here as the single-width font needs that much
foot space for combining characters below to work and the double-width
source fonts dictated the base line there. It seems not a big problem as
long as only ideographic characters are taken from 18x18*, as ideographs
often don't have a well-identified base-line anyway, and it's slightly
annoying only if you mix for instance single-width and doublewidth Latin
characters.

Probably to late anyway now. Or what operation exactly do you suggest?

In any case, these fonts were just designed to get started at all and I
hope that others will come up soon with nicer alternative fonts.
