Changing line spacing

sneakyspider · 06-01-2013, 11:13 AM

I've changed just about everything to my liking on the K2 that I can, but I was wondering if there was any user friendly way to change the line spacing on the Kindle 2, other than changing the font. The font I like most on the Kindle 2, called "CrimsonText," has larger line spacing than most, and I'd like to change it if I can.

You can edit the metrics of the font to change the line spacing.

Thanks for the advice. I've tried to change the line spacing through a free program I've found called "FontForge," unfortunately, the program always crashes before I can export the modified font, and I haven't had any luck finding any other (free) programs that do the same things.

There is one that's free that (I think) allows you to edit the metrics. It's called Type Light.

The Windows compiled version of Fontforge is worthless. It crashes before you can blink.

Thanks. I actually just found an article that tells you a very simple way to change the line spacing on the K2. Basically, you press the "SHIFT + ALT + NUMBER" keys on the keyboard. You have to hold the shift and alt keys down at the same time, then press the number. I chose 2, for example. It worked great. I've included some screenshots from the article to illustrate the different line spacing you can choose.
