Description bkh2 2010-02-18 14:57:34 UTC 
For some fonts (Times, Helvetica, Courier, probably others), line spacing is too tight, text is very difficult 
to read. Line spacing is also much tighter than in other Mac applications (TextEdit, MS Word). Importing 
MS Word documents into OpenOffice using one of the above fonts require significant adjustments in line 
spacing to be usable. 

To reproduce the bug, create a page full of empty paragraphs and switch on line numbering. If you choose 
"Times" as the font for all paragraphs, you can fit 60 lines on an A4 page, while if you switch to "Times 
New Roman", you end up with 53 lines. On other Mac applications, Times and Times New Roman behave 
very similarly. (I'll try to attach a sample file once I have submitted this issue.)

confirmed - maybe a coincidence, but the mentioned fonts are dfonts.
