I was trying to use an OpenType font from CDAC - GIST-TMOTChanakya.
But the behavior seems to be common for any ttfonts.

I notice that the line spacing as rendered by pypdflib is much larger
than the one rendered by other applications such as gdit or Libre
Office writer for a given font. Is there anyway, I can remedy this? If
it is OK to attach image files, I can attach a few screenshots to
illustrate this. Or would you recommend uploading them somewhere and
giving a link in the mail?
