Re: [libreoffice-users] typographic freaks: footnotes not vertically aligned to last line of body text in following page (as in good typographic style)

Hi :)

I'm not quite seeing the problem, or perhaps just not understanding it.  Admittedly not that 
unusual tbh.  

In both (all 3?) cases the footnotes left and right margins appear to line up with the body of the 
document.  Both are slightly smaller font-size to help readers distinguish them from the body-text. 
 Is the problem that the LO ones have less proportional-spacing vertically between lines?

Doesn't LO allow you to directly edit footnotes and change line-spacing and everything else?  If 
so, or especially if not, i guess it would be better if the default wasn't quite so cramped?
Regards from
Tom :)
