Description Kevin Suo 2014-08-11 04:40:29 UTC 
When a paragraph contains both Chinese and english chars with the same font size, Writer will show different metrics when rendering: Chinese chars are “wider” than English.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Type in some Chinese chars in Writer, followed by some English chars.
2. Apply the same font size for Western and Asia fonts for this paragraph.
3. Highlight this paragraph to observe the problem.

Current behaviour:
Chinese chars are wider (vertical direction) than English.

Expected behaviour:
Chinese chars and English have same vertical width.

See the attached screenshot for the illustration.

Windows 7 X86,
LibreOffice version 4.3.0.4.

P.S. This does not happen in MSO 2010.

It's not language related, it's font related. If you use a CJK font (i.e., Microsoft Yahei), for the same font size the line height will show much bigger than western font.

I will close this bug and file another one.
