I was speaking about the icons themselves: the drawings show clearly that it
about line spacing.
Well if it is about the clarity of the icons, i think the plus and minus could
be changed to a larger version of the orange arrows portion of the icons, as
the tiny orange portions along with the black next to it isnt really
understandable.
That said, changing tooltip from "[in/de]crease spacing" to "[in/de]crease
line spacing" could help too.
Well the spacing of these icons are paragraph spacing and not line spacing. :)

Note that generally (in RTL culture) minus is indicated by
left/less/backwards and plus by right/more/forwards arrangement. In the
mock-up the position is reversed. Like JBF I tend to think minus/plus are
more commonly associated with delete/add.
As it is just a mockup, i went with the manner it is already available in the
sidebar, increase being on the left and decrease being on the right. Yes
minus/plus is related to subtraction/addition, which is what is being done when
we decrease/increase the value of font size, paragraph spacing or indent
spacing. LibreOffice's UI already uses minus/plus signs and up/down arrows to
indicate the increase of values (zoom levels, paragraph spacing, indent
spacing), so any of these two could be used.
The recent icon series surveys
being conducted over at User Prompt:
http://user-prompt.com/portfolio/libreoffice/
... indicate this also. UI icons are notoriously difficult. Just a small UX
comment.
Yes the main issue i was trying to fix with this suggestion is that small UX
icons are difficult to see and understand and simple signs or arrows could
easily take their place.
