That was a spelling mistake, it was meant to say NSMutableParagraphStyle. I've tried doing this … CGFloat spacing = 5.0f; NSMutableParagraphStyle *paragraphStyle; [paragraphStyle init]; [paragraphStyle setLineSpacing:spacing]; [paragraphStyle setMinimumLineHeight:spacing];

Oh, I see. That works partly. The text that is already in the NSTextView at launch has the new Line Height but as soon as you start to type the line your typing on resets it's line height to default. From: Graham Cox graham@bigpond.com To: Joshua Garnham
