That means that you cannot have any "fine print". Paragraphs of "fine print" should have smaller line spacing. However, when text in a smaller font appears in the middle of a paragraph that is mainly ordinary size, even if one whole line is in the smaller font, that line's spacing should not be reduced. So the right way to handle this is not really based on the size of the text in the line. Another idea is to make it depend on the height of the newlines. That would mean putting the newlines into the ordinary font even though the text around them is in a smaller font. That would work provided the fill commands know how to keep the newlines in the ordinary font.
