Comment 5 for bug 662177

Looking through a (printed) copy of ''The Times of India'' I have here, the Rupee symbols contained within that have an equal height top two cross-bars and the spacing between those and the knee is /not/ kept equal.

One option might be to drop down to a one-pixel crossbar height a lot sooner; even if the rest of the boldface (eg. the related Latin capital 'R') is staying at two-pixels per crossbar. This may also have to be revisited once the top-bar height of Devanagari is done... (however the Hinting does not affect the outlying metrics, so this is fine).

The fundamental problem though is lack of vertical pixels... you need you need about 12 just between the baseline and cap-height to keep the proportions; and even /without/ the doubling to two-pixels it still needs about 8 pixels...
