[Framers] Line spacing

[Craig Ede]

That setting I was groping for would be 'fixed' (as previously noted by a host of others).


But seriously consider setting the line spacing to a higher one that the defaults and that will not only solve your problem but make your text read easier.

I don't have FM on this machine so I can look, but here is a setting that sets the spacing to a fixed value. This precludes lines with the super and subs from altering the line spacing (which a typographer would also prefer).

Three basic approaches:

  1.  Don't use superscripts or subscripts.
  2.  Increase the minimum line spacing (leading) for the paragraph style so that the raised/lowered characters have enough room.
  3.  Turn off automatic line spacing for the paragraph (or for its style) so that the spacing doesn't expand and learn to live with collisions between the raised/lowered characters and adjacent lines.

If you choose the third approach, you can also spend (or waste...) some time futzing with the size and/or position characteristics for subscript and superscript to minimize the collisions at the cost of making the super/subscripted characters harder to read.

Sometimes a paragraph's line spacing can be disrupted by superscript
or subscript characters, or descenders, or even by the bullets of a
bulleted list.

What's the best practice for fixing this?

It bugs me when the first two lines of a paragraph have more space
between them than do the subsequent lines.

Thanks,

Doug
