I understand, but what is a structural solution?
The font metric is clearly wrong for Noto, Oxygen (and certainly some other 
fonts) and this change is backwards compatible with current code.

And this is not a font specific hack, this just scales the actual height of M 
to the expected gridUnit value because gridUnit never was a height of M 
character (it is like 1.6 * height of M = thus the magic number).
