I'd say the width is about 2/3 of the height, with the result that your
circles look like eggs on my screen... I don't mean this as criticism, I
just wanted to point out that the problem is bigger than just the
difference between width and height - that difference is different
between different fonts... (not much to do about it, just be aware of
it...)
