Description
I'm seeing this in pretty much any application: text isn't aligned vertically properly.
Take this example of neovim (running on foot):
Distance between lines seems correct, but each character is at the top of each cell (rather than vertically centered). Thi sis most obvious with the text in the statusline (e.g.:where is says "NORMAL"), where the space on top of it is far less than the space underneath it.
Here's a screenshot on alacritty:
I don't see the issue with other fonts (e.g.: Noto Sans Mono).

Research direction
Reproduce the alignment problem in Neovim under foot and Alacritty using Fira Code, then compare it with Noto Sans Mono as shown in the screenshots. Investigate the font-rendering path involved in vertical cell alignment; done means characters are vertically centered consistently across the reported terminal applications.
