Vertical spacing question

    When I pick a tighter font, that does not seem to affect the vertical spacing. 

    I want to be able to view more Java code, so I picked a tighter font...Lucida Console 9pt.  But the vertical spacing is still the same.  It will grow as I pick larger and larger font sizes, but it never shrinks down beyond some set amount.

    Is there a way to affect that?  If not, perhaps I should request it as an enhancement.

      I tried the brace trick, but there's still actually a lot more vertical space between lines than I want.  I suspect N++ is adding several pixels of space between lines.  Compared to other editors, it's introducing quite a lot of vertical space.

      Any chance for an option to control how tightly lines are vertically spaced?

      Take a look under Global Styles at the Brace Highlight style. This is set by default to a larger size to make highlighted braces stand out, and Notepad++ sets its line spacing according to the largest size it might have to display. I changed this to the same as my main text size, and now the line spacing looks just as I would expect.

    I also want this! The spacing is kinda ridiculous. Its like my lines of text don't like each other very much.

    Oh, oops didn't see the replies at first. Changing the brace highlight makes this much better - thanks!
