You have been subscribed to a public bug:

When hinting characters with horizontal arms (з, E, 3), if it not
possible to create balanced spaces both above and below, then the
hinting should be engineered such that the smaller space is above and
the larger space below.  This prevents the character looking "top
heavy".

At sizes 16px and 17px with font revision XYZ the spacing encompassed by
the upper bowl of Cyrillic small letter Ze ("з",  UTF-16: 0x0437) was
larger than the lower bowl.  This needs confirming that at all hinted
sizes and resolutions the lower bowls is always the smaller one.
