Summary: FORMATTING: Suggestion - add "use typography golden
ratio" option when in Paragraph option
Severity: normal

No problem. A suggestion.
Typography options for some fonts.
LO comes with many fonts. Unfortunately without setting the paragraph options
right, many of the fonts look way to dense/loose which makes them appear bad.
If LO has the option to apply the so called golden ratio, then a lot of users
will be able to use most fonts very well.

Here is an explanation of what is it and why is so good. Basically, fonts have
different parameters and require different spacing, based on their design, to
look well. Otherwise many good fonts may be not good for the eyes of the
reader, without him being able to explain why.
There is formula (in the post) which can be used to calculate those spaces
automatically, so a user should not be hardcore typography designer to use
this.
Some web sites, wordpress themes and CMS use this already. If it is possible to
install that in LO it will be very attractive for a lot of newbies (like
myself).
