I received several responses so I thought I'd thank you all and 
summarize at the same time.

Apparently, this glitch only occurs when using <font> tags within <p> 
blocks. It is most noticeable when the font size is set smaller than 
default - the smaller the size, the more noticeable the extra space 
before the last line.

There are a few work-arounds. Rage already posted some so I won't 
repeat them all but the one I'm probably going to use is the one 
suggested by Patty and Rebecca which is to place a <br> at the end of 
the last sentence.

Thanks to all and my apologies for not providing a URL for an 
illustration. I'm working on a site that hasn't been released yet.
