Would it be possible to add a few additional text line spacing options, for spacings of less than 1.0?
Right now the options are 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, .... through 2.0.
What would be nice are some condensed options for 0.9, 0.8, 0.7, etc.
This would give a lot more flexibility for condensing text on tight PCB layouts.
For example, here is text on the left as one text block with a line spacing of 1.0, and text on the right, where each line is a separately placed single line of text.
As you can see, we can fit seven lines of text acceptably in less space than six lines at the current minimum spacing.
Depending on the text and the purpose of the text, even tighter spacings (where the characters overlap) may be acceptable for the PCB.
Thanks!

We will consider adding line spacing options less than 1.0. Thank you for the suggestion.

Sounds great, thanks!
Re: Text Line Spacing of Less Than 1.0?
Any chance of including this in one of the newer releases?
I'm still using workarounds for denser silkscreen labels, and it would be a huge time saver if we could just select the closer spacing directly...
Thanks

In the meantime, while waiting for smaller numbers to be added to the drop-list of the next version, the current DipTrace version (4.3.0.1) will allow you to enter the desired value directly into the Line Spacing: text box......it would be a huge time saver if we could just select the closer spacing directly...
