Hua! A huge patch has been attached to FS#9931. If I understand the description correctly, it introduces the setting "line spacing" (similar to word processing programs) as a way to still fully display too big glyphs.

IMO the two features (correctly displaying glyphs and line spacing) are independent. Glyphs should be displayed correctly (whatever the Rockbox definition of this) using all line spacings.

I think it will be a major problem to display overlapping lines, e.g. with a character in a line overlapping a character in the line above (think about scrolling lines, for example).

So I think we'd better work on the fonts rather than on the making the rendering engine more complex.

But I'd also like to hear your opinion about the "line spacing" feature. But, as steted above, consider it separately from the problem of rendering glyphs.
