Rhino WIP: Text Entity Line-space Scaling Doesn't Work for Values < 1.0

In the Rhino 9 WIP, the ability to adjust the line-spacing (leading) in a text object (independently of the text height) is a great feature, but it currently only works when entering scaling values greater than 1.0. If I enter say, 0.8, the line spacing is unaffected. Is this a bug? If it isn’t, could this small tweak be added easily? Thanks!

(I believe this is the relevant Youtrack issue.)

Also, two decimal places isn’t quite enough for precise line space adjustments. Three would be ideal. It looks like you can currently enter things like 1.075, but not 1.074 or 1.076. This is too coarse for getting leadings to be precisely 10 pt, 12 pt, etc.

It looks fine on my side, and I tested it in RhinoWIP(9.0.25319.12305, 2025-11-15)

Hmm, here’s my system info:

And here is the test file I’ve been using.

FontLeadingTest_RH9.3dm (314.1 KB)

Line spacing below 1.0 appears to work when lines have a paragraph return between them, but not that well, or not at all, when text is flowed from line to line. I’ve noted more specifics in the file.

Hi @jessesn,

I’m seeing this work on Paragraph spacing rather than Line spacing here too.

(But we are both on the latest public SRC which is four days older than your version…)

Jeremy

Thank you @Brayton_Orchard and @jeremy5 for report, I also can reproduce this issue on my side. I have logged this issue with our develoment engineers.
