Public bug reported:

Dear Maintainer,

lmodern contains version 1.950 of the modern font. In this version, the
USE_TYPO_METRICS flag is not set in the OS/2 table of Latin Modern Math,
which can lead to excessive line spacing. See
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/os2.htm#fss

This bug is fixed upstream, please upgrade to version 1.959:

This bug is also fixed in Debian:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=799731


[ Rationale: Starting with Gecko 31, the typo metrics are used when either 
USE_TYPO_METRICS is set or the font contains a MATH table. However, starting 
with Gecko 43, it will only be used when USE_TYPO_METRICS is explicitly set:
