Line Spacing in Text Fields (i.e. textscrollup) (1 Viewer)

[Dadeo]

Has anyone found a way to control line spacing in textboxes or textscrollup controls?

I find when I use larger fonts or view MP on different screen sizes the standard line spacing can be way too big and long/scrolling text fields use up a lot more space than necessary.

It seems to me this could be as easy as controlling the font for the line feed separately from the text, but I can't find any way to do this.

i am not sure what you mean... got a screenshot maybe ?? have you seen the guide for listcontrol ? here
if i understand you right its the space between lines is to high? spaceBetweenItems or textureHeight might do your trick

No, not in a listcontrol, in a textbox or textscrollup field like in the Plot description of TVSeries, MyFilms, Moving Pictures and many others. In most graphic programs or word processing programs, the line spacing can be adjusted. It is not the space between items, but the space between lines of text in a textscrollup box. So if you use a larger font, or larger font size, then the space between the lines is also larger. This not only looks odd, but is harder to read.

Here is an example.
Of a line feed/hard return in a large font.

See how big a space/line it leaves after large text? This is not really necessary or desirable. It is even bigger when using fonts within MP in a textscrollup control. I want to find a way to control the size of the space between lines. Though I am not very hopeful it is possible
