           Summary: Box Glyphs : bad height AND Shades with square pixels
           Product: DejaVu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: high
         Component: General
        AssignedTo: dejavu-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: logindevnull at gmail.com


Block Glyphs (U+2580-U+25A0) are not enough tall.
Vertical size of the blocks must be equal to E+2502 for example.
For SansMono, it's not nice to use blocks in a terminal application (with
ncursesw), because there is a vertical gap between blocks !

For shades (U+2591-U+2593), it would be much nicer to use "square virtual
pixel"
instead of just of 8x8 grid (where the pixels are not square at all).
Using current proportion with full height block, it would lead to a 6x10 grid,
allowing a best rendering at all size.
