Hello all,

I am trying to create a multiline Label and adjust the line height (more precisely, the inter-line spacing). But I am not sure if this is possible at all.

So far I have seen the following:
- Text layout is done in the TextWidget.TextLayoutData constructor
- Assuming the WRAP style is enabled and a positive width hint is set, this will create a StyledText.Block instance
- The StyledText.Block ctor calls Graphics.layoutText(text, style, wrap), which is an abstract method
- Concrete implementations of Graphics.layoutText all seem to fall back to the "leading" information which is built into the actual font used
- I have not seen any way to override or adjust this

Am I missing something? Is there any way to control line spacing ?

Thanks,

Guillermo

There wasn't any way to control line spacing short of doing text rendering yourself, but adding it was pretty easy, so I just did:

Amazing!

I didn't realize that StyledText can actually tweak the layouts returned by Graphics.layoutText.

Thank you,

Guillermo
