[opensuse] subtle format change in OOo from suse 10.1 to 10.2

Hi,

I have an OpenOffice document that printed in one page on SuSE 10.1, and 
goes up to two pages in 10.2: a single lone line goes to the second page. 
Why?

Well, superposing printed pages from before and now, and looking with a 
strong light behind the paper, I notice that line space and paragraph 
spacing has increased!

So... well, I still have a partition with 10.1, so I boot it up, load the 
same file, look at the paragraph spacings, and... it is the same: 0.04" 
above and below a paragraph, and single spacing or .20" from line to line.

I can only conclude that an inch (or a centimeter) is different in both 
versions of SuSE... or something of the sort. How come? It appears that I 
have to change spacing to .16" to get the same result.

Another hypothesis.

¿Could it be that the same font is bigger in 10.2 than it was in 10.1? I'm 
using Times and Helvetica... 

As far as I can see, comparing printed results, Times 11 prints the same. 
Well, the same width, the height I can't judge. But a line in Times 14 
is shorter!

Another weird thing... some title lines (times 12, bold) print in cursive 
at low resolution and non cursive at high res - hold on, it is using 
"times" instead of "Times", and "times" does not exist. Has no effect on 
the page length. One thing corrected, though.
