[Bug 1502701] Re: The USE_TYPO_METRICS flag is not set in the OS/2 table of Latin Modern Math
I managed to fix the bug by hand on my Ubuntu installation by doing the
following:
* Download the latest version of the Latin Modern Math font from http://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/lm-math
* You get a zipfile, unpack it. It contains documentation and a file 'latinmodern-math.otf'. Copy that file to ~/.fonts (which you must create if it doesn't exist yet)
* Restart Firefox
I'm using:
Ubuntu 14.04
Firefox 43.0
The MathML-fonts 2.1.1-signed plugin in Firefox
The MathML Font Settings 0.2.1-signed plugin in Firefox

Title:
The USE_TYPO_METRICS flag is not set in the OS/2 table of Latin Modern
Math
Status in lmodern package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in lmodern package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Dear Maintainer,
lmodern contains version 1.950 of the modern font. In this version,
the USE_TYPO_METRICS flag is not set in the OS/2 table of Latin Modern
Math, which can lead to excessive line spacing. See
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/os2.htm#fss
This bug is fixed upstream, please upgrade to version 1.959:

This bug is also fixed in Debian:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=799731
[ Rationale: Starting with Gecko 31, the typo metrics are used when either USE_TYPO_METRICS is set or the font contains a MATH table. However, starting with Gecko 43, it will only be used when USE_TYPO_METRICS is explicitly set:
