Just for the record, I have the same problem as Vika, trying to
transliterate Arabic. The line spacing problem seems not to occur with
the transliteration font Lucida Grande, but it does occur with the
Times transliteration font (Times TL) recently mentioned in a posting.
The line-spacing problem in Times TL occurs with superscript markers
for footnotes and also with the unicode transliteration symbols for the
Arabic/Persian letters hamza and 'ayn, which seem only to exist in the
Lucida Grande font (they are referred to in the character palette as
the glottal stop and reverse glottal stop, respectively).
However, converting files from NW 6.5 to NWEx 2.1.3, no matter what
font I use, causes the same problem described by Vika--the program
hangs up and NWEx must be force quit. Some files are simply impossible
to convert, apparently.

Using NWEx 2.1.3 with OS 3.9
How do I get the line spacing to be "exact" -- right now my
footnotes markers (the superscripted numbers) make my line
spacing jump around, which IMHO looks pretty ugly.
Also, in doing a bunch of search and replace for persian/arabic
terms (to get the unicode versions in), I ended up with lots of
spinning balls that only killing off (forced quit) of NWEx could
get me out of. Rebooting didn't help. I went looking through
the preferences to see if there was something like the old huge
number of undo's that I should change, but I couldn't find
anything. Does anyone have any idea what's causing this? I
usually don't have to force-quit anything. (I didn't have
anything else running when this happened, either.)
Thanks!
