I'm using XF86 4.0.3 with the FreeType libraries to display TrueType fonts. I have the fonts set up OK, they display fine except for one problem - the vertical spacing between lines is quite large. This differs between the fonts, but Arial seems to have 1.5 times the normal spacing, but others look more like they have double the line spacing.

Standard bitmap fonts have the correct spacing. Is it possible to recuce the vertical line spacing (in the fonts.alias file maybe)?

Thanks.

OK, I've solved my own problem. I'm now using the "xtt" module rather than the "freetype" one, and all TrueType fonts now have the correct spacing.
