Bug Description
Documents created using the Freesans font display differently when opened in Libreoffice version 3.5.7.2 (Ubuntu 12.04) compared with opening them in version 4.2.4.2 (Ubuntu 14.04)
To reproduce the issue please create a Writer document in LO version 4.2.4.2 and then fill the page with text using the Freesans font. Save the document and then open it in LO version 3.5.7.2 You will see that the text has expanded to fill approximately one third of a second page.
I have attached a sample test file created in LO 4.2.4.2 (Ubuntu 14.04)
This makes sharing documents among users who use different versions very unsatisfactory.
