Treating spaces and newlines alike could be a good idea since filling converts between them. What is the "actually available height"? I am not sure what that phrase means. However, the use of the current font for either spaces or newlines seems to be a mistake, because of the case I mentioned earlier (more than one line of small text in a paragraph of larger text).
