Word uses hard coded line height for Helvetica, Times, Baskerville, and Old Face TamilSangamMN???

Today I learned something interesting about Microsoft Word; for most fonts, Word uses the vertical metrics in the font file, but for some, Word has its own "hard coded" line height values for (at least) the following families:
  • Helvetica
  • Times, Baskerville Old Face, and TamilSangamMN (which all have the same vertical metrics)
I say 'at least' because there's probably more families, just a guess on my part though...

Does anyone know if there is anything unique about those 4 families that necessitated hardcoded line height values?
