Input boxes cut off entered text for IE LTE 9 with some Google Fonts

Found that in IE LTE 9 using the Ubuntu Mono Google font, the bottom portions of each letter were cutoff in all input boxes. Other fonts showed the same behavior and even one of the websafe font families was slightly impacted.

Added line-height: 1; in the ie-lte-9.css as follows

.block input.form-text,
.block input.form-password,
.block input.form-file {
  width: 95%;
  line-height: 1;
}

This seems to resolve it but not sure if there is a better solution.
