Yes, but all "n" variants are normally the same size, modulo the diacritics.

The guttural na is transcribed using a superscript dot, but maybe you do not 
have it in a standard font, and your MUA used whatever font was available, 
therefore this extra height you're talking about.  I'm not sure if I've 
correctly understood you, to be honest.

Agreed : I have changed my font preferences for "Other languages"
(odd way of having to tell it which font to use for UTF-8 !),
and now all four n variants are the same height.
