Hello, AC!

You are right. A resolution of this issue has already been posted in CVS, which fixed a similar bug report
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?15956
I hope to make a proper release soon, with this and other bug fixes.

If you need a better copy immediately, the Debian package ttf-freefont has many fixes applied already. If you want to see my bleeding-edge version, it's in CVS.

Thanks for your attention!

I have downloaded Freesans, FreeSerif from here, all 2005-12-06 release, and have found the line spacing does not seem to be "normal", as with fonts like Arial or Times New Roman.

It looks odd on some programs like Serif PagePlus and Microsoft Word.

Is there any chance this bug will be fixed??
