So either you are for the recommendation as a whole or > against it. Correct. And as "peculiar" for MS's implementation, our target range for the 120%-145% line spacing would be the same 1.03-1.29 that Butterick suggests--just in our implementation a 103-129 value. Using our current Text Body style default of 120 puts our spacing closer to 138%--too large. We should be on the lower end, so 108 as Cor suggested was reasonable, and as MS Moved Office to at 2013, effectively 125% of the Point size ("effective" depending on the hhea or Typo height described in the font). The Gentium Plus, Gentium Plus Compact are a good example of how the font itself controls the line spacing by increasing or decreasing the ascent/descent for the same glyphs on a common em square. This becomes more important to resolve if as suggested for <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - Default paragraph style should be "Text body" and not "Default"" href="show_bug.cgi?id=47295">bug 47295</a> we move these metrics to be the basis of the Default style, i.e. what is applied to all text when Direct Formatting is removed.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
