    Quite contrary, I always found it very odd (i.e. buggy) that emacs
    forces all lines to be at least as high as the default frame line
    height.  That means that you cannot have any "fine print".

Paragraphs of "fine print" should have smaller line spacing.  However,
when text in a smaller font appears in the middle of a paragraph that
is mainly ordinary size, even if one whole line is in the smaller
font, that line's spacing should not be reduced.

So the right way to handle this is not really based on the size
of the text in the line.

Another idea is to make it depend on the height of the newlines.  That
would mean putting the newlines into the ordinary font even though the
text around them is in a smaller font.  That would work provided the
fill commands know how to keep the newlines in the ordinary font.
