More specifically, I understand Kim's change to only affect the computation of line height, not line spacing. By its description Kim's change sounds right (although I guess Handa's point about C-k increasing the line height is valid: so we should refine the change, but not take it out). But maybe I'm misunderstanding. Stefan
