Unfortunately, users that expect their text or images attached to text to be positioned at specific point in a specific page should be prepared for the inevitable re-layout of their document that will result from this change. With the latest NeoOffice code, users will find that the leading for many fonts is smaller than before and, as a result, more lines will fit on a single page.

Starting with NeoOffice 2.2.2 Patch 7, NeoOffice uses the correct font leading. In nearly all cases, the leading used by NeoOffice was larger than the font's actual leading. Prior to NeoOffice 2.2.2 Patch 7, NeoOffice incorrectly set the leading.

However, we had been unable to find code changes that would reliably fix these two problems and these problems remained unfixed until January 2008 when we were finally able to properly identify a method of mapping Mac OS X's font metrics to the font metric handlers in NeoOffice's underlying code that reliably produces line spacing that is nearly identical to the line spacing in Microsoft Office for Mac. Many NeoOffice users have documented these two problems over the last few years. In addition, NeoOffice would incorrectly apply font style changes where the style changes in the middle of a ligature and would cause ligatures to be misrendered.

As a result, documents created in Microsoft Office for Mac would frequently have significantly different pagination and framed text would be pushed past the bottom of the frame in NeoOffice. Specifically, in many cases, NeoOffice's line spacing would be slightly wider than Microsoft Office for Mac. To change the default for any one individual document, use Get Info, select the appropriate application and close the Info window (i.e., stop with step 4 in the General Method list).Prior to the release of NeoOffice 2.2.2 Patch 7, all versions of NeoOffice had problems with line spacing and ligature rendering for many fonts.
