    Yes it will.  Example (two versions of a slash):

     ........                    ......X.
     ......X.   One high pixels  .....XX.  Two high pixels.
     .....X..        |           ....XX..  (Note - only ONE pixel
     ....X...   <----            ...XX...  height difference!)
     ...X....                    ..XX....
     ..X.....                    .XX.....
     .X......                    XX......
     X.......                    X.......
In short, there is NOTHING that says that the two-high pixels must start
on an even line. The only thing you have to do is to ensure that no pixel
"stands alone".
