OK, I see now. Seems there is a distinction to be made between Default style, which uses the font defined Single line metric, and Text Body style which currently sets the proportional value--apparently incorrectly, i.e. too large. I had wondered why we use Default so much more than Text Body--but if you think of the amount of floating point calculations that have to be applied to render fonts proportionally it is much better for performance if we use the font metrics provided as Single line spacing. Nothing to be recalculated. I don't know if that is intentional given an apparent preference for Default style. But, what I'd think makes more sense would be to redefine Text Body style more simply. And to use the Single line spacing--as the Default style does--and to not set Text Body style to use Proportional spacing at all. As to space below, believe there is a .25cm <--> .10in conversion in play for the space below setting when toggling between metric and inch based formats. But I believe those values are squishy. Either "spacing" gets recalculated in twips, i.e. 1/20pt * 72pt/in or nominal GUI units of 1/1,440 in. Values are then converted to mm ( convertTwipToMM100 ) when working in metric in the document shell. IIUC the Text Body spacing below of .10in is 144 twips, but for metric the .25cm ~= 141.73, gets rounded to 142 twips--so can have weird impact on the document canvas depending on location/page layout. Believe that while modifying the Text Body style, the Spacing below paragraph for the style would do well at .127cm / .05in / 72 twips, which in metric rounds to 0.13 cm or ~= 74 twips. It looks good, and should have low impact on performance if folks start using Text Body style. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
