help needed with line-height

[Dave_S_White]

Hello,

Using fop 0.20.4 ( tried 0.20.5, same behavior ) I'm struggling trying to understand the usage of line-height. I have a word doc that I am trying to clone via XSL FO/FOP and cannot get the line spacing to match. I am using Times New Roman 12pt with font embedding. The font metrics files were generated using the times.ttf file located in c:\winnt\fonts ( on a win= 2k machine). Without specifying any line-height the lines are spaced much further apart that the MS word file ( I don't seem word doing anything special with the spacing BTW, just single space). I've experimented with line-heght =3D 12pt and that actually makes the spacing too small. Shifting to % values and a lot of trial and error I ended up using line-height=107% and it seems to match pretty well. This is pure dumb luck though, can anyone please explain or point me in the right direction to understand how line-height is being calculated if I don't specify it, and why 107% of 12pt font seems like the "magic" number to match word single spacing with 12 pt
Times new Roman?

I'm stuck, any help is much appreciated.

thanks,
dave
