[csswg-drafts] [css21][css-inline] height of inline box with line-height:normal and primary font not used

frivoal has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css21][css-inline] height of inline box with line-height:normal and primary font not used ==
**This is part of the #1796 series. Read that issue for context**

[Test source](https://github.com/frivoal/web-platform-tests/blob/line-height-experiments/css/css-line-height/line-height-012.html)
[Ref source](https://github.com/frivoal/web-platform-tests/blob/line-height-experiments/css/css-line-height/reference/line-height-006-ref.html)
[Live test](https://rawgit.com/frivoal/web-platform-tests/line-height-experiments/css/css-line-height/line-height-012.html)
[Live ref](https://rawgit.com/frivoal/web-platform-tests/line-height-experiments/css/css-line-height/reference/line-height-006-ref.html)

As seen in the test above, in the general case, if a inline-level box contains only characters from fallback fonts, all browsers agree to size the height of a `line-height:auto` inline-level box using the metrics of the fonts actually used **plus** the metrics of the primary font, even if it is not used. I.E. they take the strut into account.

However, see #1798 for a possible exception.
