The recommendation states that anything within the 120% to 145% range is fine, so why would it be too large to use 138%? I'm fine with taking the middle value of the range, 132.5%, which is would be equivalent to 1.16, though i would minus 1 from it so we could go for 1.15 like other apps. > 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. If you look at the line spacing page[1], it says "The text in this paragraph has line spacing of 135%. It looks fine.", which is using 1.35, so wouldnt be in favour of going to the lower end. [1] <a href="http://practicaltypography.com/line-spacing.html">http://practicaltypography.com/line-spacing.html</a> Took Cor's doc and modified it to include the range between 1.00 and 1.20 so we can compare the sizes. I think 1.10 and 1.15 have the good amount of space to not feel to camped or to large.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
