Re: Indic scripts are talking more vertical space than latin character

So you suggest to find a font which is designed well?

I need a set of fonts. I'll give users options to select font. In that case I think I need to check every font. :(

I doubt you will want to do that.

Since most indic scripts have glyph forms / combining
forms which may cause vertical stacking. Since uniform
spacing between lines is desirable, I guess the font
makers have put in too much vertical space for the font.

If a font is taking up too much vertical space, it may be
a problem with the font's design too.
