Hi,

I have font set at size 40pt and line spacing at exactly 40pt. The font takes up the bottom two thirds of a lined template (set as a watermark) and letters which descend below the baseline, such as g j p, take up the top third of the line below. The text of the line above would technically not interfere with the text below, however they are being cut off.

Solutions suggest adding space after the text, however I cannot do this as line spacing must be consistently 40pt in order to sit on a lines of the template. Space before and after text is set to 0.

This same setup in Adobe Illustrator works well.



Is there a way to overcome this?

If it prints correctly, it's just a limitation of the font display. Alternatively, since you say you cannot reduce the line spacing, your only other practical option would be to reduce the font size. The impractical alternative would be to create transparent, borderless, textboxes for each line - vertically positioned where you want them, and add the text to those.

Thanks again for your help.
I just read something saying this is a display only problem and will not print out like this, so i gave it a go and it was correct.
Its annoying that it wont display correctly thought but no biggie.
