Bug Description
I am attempting to migrate users from Fedora to Ubuntu. I'm using OOo 2.2.0 on both systems. The difference is on Fedora, I'm using the official version downloaded from openoffice.org. The problem I am having is that the line spacing on the Ubuntu version is larger than the official OpenOffice version. This is with the *exact* same font. This results in documents being longer on Ubuntu and the contents of what should be on a single page, spills on to subsequent pages. I am using Times and even copied the TTF files to each of the boxes with no change. To further illustrate it's a bug, I installed the official OpenOffice version on the Ubuntu box, and with this version, the problem disappears. This may be related to bug:

Although this is Linux <-> Linux. This is a real deal breaker for me as I really need the documents to be identical. I've tried replacing all the config files in /usr/lib/openoffice with the official ones, hoping it was just that, but it appears to be compiled in. I'd much rather use the Ubuntu version as I can use apt to keep up to date, which was rather the point of me switching to Ubuntu.

i noticed too when upgrading from fiesty to gutsy and thus from oo 2.2 to 2.3 that line spacing got increased and now i have to go through lots of trouble to modify texts in oowriter and ooimpress to make them look nice again. is this a real bug in oo 2.3 and if so, is there any hope that it will get fixed?
