I am attaching a PDF that has the fence generated by LaTeX and the one
obtained by scaling in the vertical direction (inner ones are by LaTeX).
I myself can't make out why the LaTeX one is better (I will happy if
somebody could explain that).
(The nice thing about the vertically-scaled fences are that I can cut
"{" from PDF and put it in the UTF-8 text-editor.)
