Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Font rendering

Possibly my increased line length is related to this bug 
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103322 and 
introduction of HarfBuzz in 5.3.
Sometimes finding a bug comes down to chancing upon suitable terminology 
in the search.

There is some potential this may still need to be tweaked but I believe it
is intended to remain as it is now.  The issue some folks are having is with
differing font metrics of fonts installed to OS or even between
distributions.
HarfBuzz
But if the font metrics are the same--the line spacing will remain be the
same across

A few BZ issues suggest it has been an issue for some time and may not
exactly be correct now... but main concern should be the quality/consistency
of your fonts.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Font rendering

Thanks Stuart.
I copy the same font package for the fonts I use across machines to 
ensure consistency, I first noticed a variation between mac and Linux 
but that was solved when I copied my Linux version of the font to the 
mac and I now ensure the same package is used on all machines. This may 
have been a side effect of the work done, but If the changes are looking 
settled I will adjust my documents when I revise them.


My issue now is one of line length increased in 5.3.3 causing additional 
wrapping, not inter-line spacing issues.
