Description
Question
Is alignment of digits of default stylistic set (no feature selected) supposed to be equal at top and bottom bounds? I really like Fira Code overall, yet cannot use it at the moment as I fail to ignore the seeming inconsistency. Maybe there's a solution.
Observation
I cannot quite tell if 9 is misaligned or actually taller than the other digits, but in different terminals on Wayland (foot, alacritty, kitty, wezterm) it sticks out anytime there's a 9 on display within other digits:
After taking a screenshot and marking the bottom, it looks like 3 is the same:
And looking at the top, 1 doesn't align with 9 and seems like neither does it with 3 (slightly):
Same result with GTK3's font renderer:

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the reported digit rendering in foot, alacritty, kitty, wezterm, and GTK3 using the screenshots as reference. Done means determining whether the 1, 3, and 9 share the same top and bottom alignment and documenting the required font change.
