I have an application with internationalized text display working well, mostly, using GTK 2.2.4, pango 1.2.5, and UTF-8. It runs under MontaVista Linux and uses gdk_draw_layout to draw all text. However, I have a problem with the application in Arabic. Spaces between lines in multi-line Arabic text are coming out much larger than in other scripts, causing Arabic text to vertically run off areas that other scripts having the same number of lines fit into. The spacing looks almost like a blank line is being interposed between each two valid lines. The font descriptions in use are just "Sans" plus various sizes, for instance "Sans 20".
I have verified that both Arabic and languages displaying correctly have just one \n between lines. I have tried using pango_layout_set_spacing to 0. It made no difference.
