Hi Kohei,

I guess the major fear isn't that your code is wrong, it's probably
right, it's what stuff relying on the old way of doing things will
change.

So, I was wondering why the default row height of a new Calc document
has suddenly shrunk from the old 0.18" (in 3.4) to 0.15" on master.
After looking at various places, I have eventually truck it down to this
particular change.  Also, the heights of the controls are overall
noticeably shorter.

But based on what I'm seeing on this thread, I take that the new glyph
metric calculation algorithm is the correct way?  If so, then we'll have
to make some adjustments to some of the size sensitive areas to bring
things back to the way they were prior to the change.  One place I
definitely have to adjust is the default row height, which is now
noticeably smaller.

Yes, that would indeed be needed. Probably also import/export from/to
Excel needs new row-height calculation, as they specify row height in
fractions of font height, IIRC.

But before going there, I just need to make sure that we are on the same
page wrt keeping the new algorithm and moving on to fixing whatever
needs fixing.

I'm not sure we want to keep the new algorithm as default, given that
there are probably many areas in several applications to be adapted to
the new behavior. Maybe best we make that an option until necessary
changes are done. Opinions?
