For example, try using the Scriptina font (http://www.dafont.com/scriptina.font) and use it in the Text Layout Framework. You'll notice that the line heights aren't tall enough to fit this font. This font works great with the normal TextField.
Anyone have any ideas or ways to work around this issue?
For this font I'd specify lineHeight at 220%. The default value of 120% is too small for the extravagant loops in this font design.
I'm not sure what TextField is doing differently, but TLF is using the metrics this font supplies in a typographically-correct way. InDesign lays out lines of text in Scriptina in the same way as TLF - at the default 120% line height (or leading) its ascenders and descenders run though the adjacent line.
