Thank you. I already knew that TTF also works, I just thought I heard something like "OTF would be better". However, I found a website where you can upload a TTF font and it will be converted to OTF within seconds - for free. But I guess from now on I will give TTF a try, too. Again thanks for giving me the confidence that line height should work (I still haven't tried it - the first thing that I made when I got to the computer was looking at this thread)

Oh yes, that is so true. And another thing that no one has mentioned so far: you can't do a text search inside an image.

The way you talk, it seems as if you received a handwritten letter by me
Just to add this: the letters in this book are written by young teenage guys. One of them has a correct spelling, the other one makes a few mistakes, like for example, he sometimes forgets a letter, or he accidentally wrote a word twice. So yes, overflowing letters can happen - and in this case it would really fit. But still, I will give it a try with line height.
