Differences in "Georgia" fonts

As previously reported, I've just received one of the new Gen3's which (unlike my original one, which was one of the very first batch to ship) came pre-installed with the "Georgia" font.

As it happens, "Georgia" is my favourite book-reading font, and on my previous Gen3 I'd copied the font from my PC.

The version of the font pre-installed on the Gen3, however, has a much narrower line spacing than the PC version - I find that the lines are too close together. I've therefore deleted the pre-installed font and re-copied the font from my PC onto the new Gen3. I far prefer the wider line spacing of the PC version of the font, although it means that you get a couple fewer lines on the screen.

Just thought this might be useful to anyone who's also found the line gaps to be too narrow with the supplied font. I think you get "Georgia" when you install IE7 - it's certainly very commonly found on Windows PCs.
