1. I'm not sure that we should think of the font height (w.r.t vertical
positioning) as the difference between the ascender and the descender lines, as
opposed to baseline to cap line. Of course line spacing should account for
those, but not necessarily centering.
2. Are you sure this is the case for these specific fonts? A cursory inspection
doesn't seem to agree with that.

Yes, that's certain. I'm not arguing against this design choice (although that
might be an interesting discussion to have).

But the ascenders are about as high as Liberation Sans... so,

is ours a case of the font artificially using a larger above-caps space?
Also, suppose a font does this intentionally. Why should we respect its desire
for extra space, when the user has indicated something different, and the extra
space is known not to be necessary?
