Inconsistent font metrics? #19

I hope I'm not being stupid here, but I've been troubleshooting for days and I'm pretty sure this is a problem with the fonts.

This issue concerns: https://github.com/sora-xor/sora-font/tree/master/fonts/ttf/v2.1beta

Specifically, these fonts seem to have inconsistent metrics (ascent, descent etc.):

Sora-Thin.ttf
Sora-ExtraLight.ttf
Sora-Light.ttf
Sora-Regular.ttf
Sora-Medium.ttf
Sora-SemiBold.ttf
Sora-Bold.ttf
Sora-ExtraBold.ttf

In a design tool like Figma, this results in incorrectly sized text boxes, which makes aligning text unfeasible:

In a font tool like Glyphr Studio, the problem is easier to see (notice how the ascent and descent guides are not consistent between fonts):
