But the problem of line height difference is otherwise unfixable by me.


Linux users also often face the problem where LC developers share stacks 
where multi-line text wraps below the bottom of fields with fixed height.

Can you set the field height to the formattedHeight and auto-show 
scrollbars as necessary when you load the field's contents? That 
ordinarily solves the problem. I would protest efforts to mess with user 
font selection, be it fontface or size and suggest you try to make it 
adaptive. Fontface and size can be elements the user has good reasons to 
set for himself.
