Auto line spacing will choose the line space to be as tall as the tallest char.
on the line.  Choose a fixed space to prevent this problem.  If, for example, 
you choose 2 ln (or 24pt) and you have a symbol that is 36pt, that symbol
overlap the prev./next line.  Sometimes, this looks OK.

As a rule, I don't like auto line spacing.  I usually choose 1 ln (12pt) 
at the begining of typeing and adjust individual lines as necessary.
