Openoffice.org writer incorrectly displays single line spacing as 1.5 line spacing in Dapper PPC

[PrivateUser132781]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

I have created an openoffice text document. In Openoffice.org 2.0 for Mac OS X, the paragraph displays correctly as single line spacing. However, when the document is opened in Openoffice.org 2.0.2 on Ubuntu Dapper PPC, it displays as 1.5 line spacing. When the formatting is changed to 1.5 line spacing, it displays with even more space in dapper. I provide links to the openoffice odt file, as well as pdfs generated in openoffice on dapper and in Mac OS X for comparison purposes. I do not know whether this problem occurs when other fonts are used or on other dapper systems.

Original openoffice document (with single line spacing): http://maanskyn.za.net/example.odt
PDF generated in Mac OS X (correct): http://maanskyn.za.net/example_oo2.0_osx.pdf
PDF generated in dapper (incorrect): http://maanskyn.za.net/example_oo2.0.2_dapperppc.pdf

Feel free to contact me if more detail is needed.

I see the same issue on Dapper i386

The OS X PDF doesn't use the font that the ODT specifies (PDF:
Helvetica vs. ODT: FreeSans), so one might think that differing fonts
are responsible for the spacing differences. Would be nice to have an
OS X PDF with the correct font to see if there are differences between
the platforms at all.

But even without a usable file for comparison, the spacing on dapper
looks wrong.

It's a duplicate of:
