Bug#799731: fonts-lmodern: The USE_TYPO_METRICS flag is not set in the OS/2 table of Latin Modern Math
Package: fonts-lmodern
Version: 2.004.4-5
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
fonts-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:

[ 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 explicitely set:
