Khmer is a language that stacks letters on top of each other, so the line
spacing for Khmer text needs to be way taller than that for English and other
languages using Basic Latin glyphs.
If I use a font that contains Khmer characters, either the line spacing is
taken from the Khmer, in which case all text everywhere has way, way too much
line spacing. Or else the line spacing is taken from the Basic Latin, and the
tops and bottoms of Khmer text are chopped off.

What's needed is support for baseline tables.
Khmer isn't the only Southeast Asian language with this difficulty -- Thai,
Lao, Burmese and Vietnamese also share this issue (even though Vietnamese uses
Latin characters, double accents require more line spacing than English).
