Description

Should we mention in CLReq what the requirements are for line spacing when mixing Chinese and Western text?

Additionally, when mixing Chinese characters with complex scripts like Thai or Javanese, a greater line height may be required.

我们是否需要在CLReq里提一下中西文混排时对行距有什么要求?

另外,当汉字与泰文、爪哇字母的复杂文种混排时,需要的行高可能会更高。

Research direction

Review the existing CLReq guidance on line spacing and the attached examples of Thai and Javanese mixed with Chinese text. Determine whether the specification should state requirements for mixed-script line height, and identify the appropriate section and wording scope for documenting that guidance.
