Title:
  [1 mod] Style: Greek lowercase chi ('χ') does not descend below
  baseline

Status in Ubuntu Font Family:
  Fix Committed
Status in fonts-ubuntu package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The lowercase Greek Chi current occupies the space between the
  baseline and the x-height.  General tenancy is for 'χ' to be rendered
  between the x-height and that of other descenders (eg. its companions
  psi and phi: ψφ).

  If we are purposely going with an unusual style, we should document
  this decision and the rationale behind it.
