Line spacing with CDC::DrawText(..), how??
Telia
a prepressed paper.
How can I inc/dec the spacing, CDC has no support, neither has CFont.
Can someone please enlighten me, I've seached the help for hours now!!

But, why using DrawText, especially for printing. DrawText/DrawTextEx
are simple-minded text formating function designed for simple UI text
displaying. Implement your own solution, which should be device
resolution independent in text formating, or read my coming book.

Telia:
I'm not sure I understand your question. DrawText() takes a LPRECT
argument (aka CRect*). For each line you can move the rectangle down:
rect+=CPoint(0, nSpacing);
By changing the value of nSpacing, you change the spacing. Of course
nSpacing is not the spacing, it is the distance between the tops of
successive lines. but you get the idea.
HTH,

Since you get to write the code, you get to define the spacing. You
can print stuff anywhere you want on the page. Just compute the
coordinates and do a TextOut. CDC and CFont have "no support" because
there is no reason to have any such support; neither CDC nor CFont (at
least directly) have anything to do with line spacing. Generally, for
ordinary printing, you often use the CFont height to compute the line
spacing, but you can use any other means of computing it that you feel
like.

I think wasn't that clear of what I exactly meant.
I'm using just one call to:
CDC::DrawText(text, CRect(the whole page), DT_WORDBREAK)
to make MFC write over several lines. Some lines are to be wrapped and some
just ends with /r/n, hence a new line. The text can be a whole letter (or
A4).
I thought maybe there was a way to specify the "inter_line spacing" since it
whould've been so simple for Msoft to implement in the DrawText method. But
I seem to be out of luck, I guess writing my own linebreaker is the way to
go!?

it but I think you ca use this. Modify the lfHeight member of LOGFONT
without modifying the lfWidth member. You man need to use negative values
for lfHeight. Once again, take a look at LOGFONT and lfHeight.
CFont::CreateFontIndirect creates a CFont from a LOGFONT structure.

However this only changed the Fonts size, not the spacing between the lines.

assumptions about what you intend. If you intend something else, you
can't use the technique you are using; you have to write the lines
yourself. Note that changing parameters such as tmHeight can have no
effect on the font.

DrawText. If you have specified DT_EXTERNALLEADING in the nFormat
parameter, the height of the line includes external leading part of the
font. So, before calling DrawText, select your preferred font.
