Font and Caret Size - SyntaxEditor for Windows Forms Forum

Posted 20 years ago by painetraine

Is there a way to make the vertical spacing match the font size when using smaller fonts?

When I switch to something like Lucida Console 8pt, the font is smaller but the line height is still the same so I don't get any more of the text in the screen.

Thanks

We're going to have to make a couple tweaks to allow that but it will be possible.

I have the exact same problem. Did this ever get resolved? We're using version 4.0.0.282. We have a customer that has reported this:

"I can change the font from Lucida Console 12pt to 7pt, but the line height doesn't change. In other words, even though the 7pt is significantly smaller than the 12pt, I can't get any more lines to display in a single screen in the Editor."

Thanks,
Lee

Lee,

It should work fine but make sure you also set SyntaxEditor.MinimumDisplayLineHeight to something smaller than its default.

So if I did this:

syntaxEditor.MinimumDisplayLineHeight = syntaxEditor.Font.Height;

Would that be an acceptable solution?

Hi Lee,

Sure, or you could probably even set it to 0 if you'd like.
