Hello,

Basically the line spacing differences across platforms has been reduced
after this commit[1] ( visual example of an issue fixed by the mentioned
commit: Windows [2] and Linux [3] ) although there are still some bugs
showing differences between Linux and Windows [4][5]
Besides, it seems some documents look different before and after the
commit now.
These are the problems I could find in Bugzilla related to the commit:

1. Some fonts with bad metrics ( [6],[7] ) were displayed better before,
however the problem needs to be fixed in the fonts, not in LibreOffice,
thus, NOTOURBUG.
Note: Khaled also fixed it for OpenSymbol fonts [9].

2. UI: Some dialogs labels are slightly cropped and vertically cramped
[9]. Differences look bigger on Linux/Mac than on Windows. This bug [10]
seems similar.

3. Web view: Line spacing is smaller than before [11]. This really looks
like a bug to me.

4. Calc/PDF: line spacing looks smaller when using line breaks [12].

As a solution, this bug [13] has been suggested.

Regards
