I don't really understand what problems you are trying to solve.  I
see differences in font size and line spacing, but you seem to be
bothered by other issues as well, in particular, with variable-pitch
fonts, about which you didn't say anything specific and didn't show
any screenshots.  So it's hard to say something intelligent about
this, especially since it sounds like what you actually show and
provide details for are not the problems that annoy you the most.

IOW, please be more specific and provide more details and perhaps
screenshots.
