CM2 does it by measuring the actual text and not a generic string.

This includes non monospace fonts and asian characters

Any updates on this?

[fjakobs]

I have it in an experimental branch. It doesn't support soft wrap yet and has some issues with tab characters but otherwise it works very well already.

Will it be fixed to one line-height, or is it possible to allow multiple line-heights in the document?

[fjakobs]

variable line height is currently not planned.

Are there any plans to continue work on this feature in the (near-ish) future?

[nightwing]

not in next 2-3 months.
