Line spacing in multiline stringfields

[Weltenbrand]

Hi,
the spacing between lines is quite big in stringfields (or formatted text). Can it be reduced ?
(without shrinking the text, setting a lower multilinespacing seems to also shrink the text)

Thank you

Can you give some screenshot examples of areas you are concerned about?
(On Windows, you can use Windows key plus Shift and S key to make quick snips of your screen. Not sure easiest way on Mac/Linux.)

The fields are "basicstring" from Core with multilinespacing 20.
It looks like a complete empty line between the text lines.

Most of the fonts used in CoreRPG are specified to be 16 units high with a 2 unit gap above and below. (units are equivalent to pixels at 100% UI scale).

It looks like you are running a custom ruleset and/or theme extension that is probably specifying it's own font and spacing.

It is custoum, but it is layered on CoreRPG and does not overwrite sheettext (which is used for simplestring which is the basis for basicstring).
This means I have to edit the ttf file or are there tags in the <font> definition?

Thank you

The sheettext template and the sheettext font are separate assets. If the font definition is overwritten, it will affect any time that sheettext is used.

I've attached a picture of the font displayed in the CoreRPG ruleset in a similar record.

If you want a different display, you'll need to override the templates for lines. Remember that some characters are taller; and some characters descend below the baseline. Make sure you account for those when specifying template overrides.
