Wrong vertical metrics causes positioning issues in internet explorer

[jean343]

Hello,

Thanks for making the lato font as an npm package. There is an issue with the vertical positioning of the font in Internet Explorer, and it could be solved by modifying the .woff file.

The issue can be seen below, even when setting a line-height, the text is not vertically centered.

I suggest to convert the woff font which could be done by setting "Auto-Adjust: Vertical Metrics” in fontsquirrel, this fixes the problem in IE, and does not touch the other browsers which are using the woff2 font.

This bug is similar to this bug in Fira: mozilla/Fira#57

Thanks!!
