Can you please reread what I wrote? Typefaces come BY DESIGN with line spacings
that are between 120 and 140% of the POINT size: Libertinux is around the 120%
and, as I commented on the description, Sukhumala is at 130%. Setting another
120% on top of an existing 130% gives you a frikin 156%!!! That cannot be
right.
Please, don't trust too much the details on the quoted page, the phrase "Word
uses peculiar line-spacing math" shows that the author do not understand how
"most word processors" work. The math is not peculiar, in fact there is no math
at all: single line spacing is defined by the typeface itself! Nowadays only
LaTeX uses the point size to define line spacing and THERE you'll find some
"peculiar line-spacing math".</pre>
