There's no such feature in Emacs, AFAIK.  The default cursor is just
the character at point displayed in inverse video, so it always has
the dimensions of the character as its font provides them.

My question is why do you set line-height to a non-nil value? what do
you want to accomplish with that setting?

(Btw, there's no line-height variable, only line-height text
property.)
