Hi. I'm rather fond of the ability to set the amount of space between
lines of text in Terminal. In the font panel for Terminal, at the
bottom, there is a section called Font Character Spacing, and within
that, there is a slider for Height. I keep it at 0.9. It's also easy to
set/get using defaults:


% defaults read -app Terminal | grep FontHeightSpacing

FontHeightSpacing = "0.9";

BBEdit doesn't have the extra Font Character Spacing section in its font
panel, but BBedit defaults to 0.9 anyway, so text in BBedit looks great
to me.


Which brings us to Xcode. Xcode's editor appears to use a setting of
1.0, so text in Xcode's editor looks annoyingly vertically spread out to
me. Xcode's font panel doesn't have the extra Font Character Spacing
section. Xcode's preferences section doesn't allow one to change the
height of the font/FontHeightSpacing either.


Is there an undocumented preference I can tweak via defaults that will
let me change Xcode's editor to suit my tastes?

I've never heard of one if there is.

If not, can someone at Apple please consider adding control of Font
Character Spacing to Xcode? Thanks.
