But it's a value that you specify. The problem (as I'm sure you discussed) isn't that the line height is larger than the type size - most fonts are still designed to be used that way for historical reasons to do with physics. The problem is that you can't control the vertical baseline spacing exactly, and can't reliably align blocks of text side by side (in vertical block progression mode). Liam -- Liam R. E.
