That's certainly possible. I switched computers and distros so all of
those things might've been refreshed or altered upstream. I'm using
Junicode for the main & bold but with Tex Gyre Schola for italic, and
then grabbing miscellaneoussymbols out of a DejaVu Serif fallback and
using DejaVu Sans Mono for mono (althought this particular page doesn't
have any mono). If it isn't that case that those fonts have changed
their metrics, which I wouldn't know, I'm kinda out of the loop
generally (#unplugged), I was thinking that maybe the culprit could be
that it used to work off of the italic's ex height and now works off of
the main's ex height but that's just wild guessing on my part.
I'm working around the problem by setting the interline space to
3.0675ex which makes the recompiled pages match the previously compiled
pages exactly. (I don't know why that number. I found it by trying every
number and seeing what matched.) The previously compiled pages didn't
have an interline space set.
Thanks again.
Sandra
