Those values aren't used on Windows only, and they do change things like line
spacing, not only in Windows but on other platforms as well.

Other fonts don't have the problem because they were designed for it, by having
more line spacing (i.e. more room between ascender height and cut-off height).
Since we build on Vera we have to do it with what we've got. We could very well
solve this by adding more line spacing but we aren't going to do that for
obvious reasons.
