imho wrong. your impression is right for word processing, but for DTP work, you will mostly want to use a basegrid alignment (for both aligning through columns and front/back side on the sheet of paper). fixed size line height is a good starting point to make you aware of the fact that line height does matter! but i agree with you that one should be able to set her preferred line spacing as a default... do you want to write a bug report for it? good night a.l.e
