Text leading spacing

[Anonymous]

Hello -

I have tried to set "leading" for my text to be less than 50% but have had no success. 50% seems to be the absolute minimum. This means when I write multiple lines of text there is a huge spacing between the lines. Is there a setting I can change to get the text to be closer together?

Thanks in advance - Chris

Good Mornin' all -

Is there anyone that can help me with this question? If it is not clear what I am talking about I can rephrase it or post a picture. Thanks in advance.

Best regards - Chris

50% is indeed the minimum. For me the text lines (capitals) overlap at that leading so any less would not be useful. (I tried all the ordinary fonts; Times, arial, etc.) Some fonts have very tall line heights relative to their 'size' (ascender or cap height). What font are you using... does this help.
