I've been using Adobe's Type 1 version of Gill Sans for a number of years on all my presentations. Because of the conflict / headache with Apple's Gill Sans dfont installed, I finally bit the bullet and spent $300 to get Adobe's OTF version of Gill Sans (called Gill Sans Std). I had read that the font is exactly the same (just a different name to do away with font cache conflicts). Well, it's not really exactly the same. I notice an issue with line spacing as I was converting my Gill Sans Type 1 presentations to Gill Sans OTF. After converting to Gill Sans OTF, I have to reduce the line spacing by about 2 tenths (in Keynote) to get the equivalent look.

Is this "normal?" There's a change in line spacing from Type 1 to OTF?
