Hussein, I followed your instructions and was able to change the line height for *most* text in our PDF documents.
However, I have not been able to figure out how to change the line height for table of contents entries (including lists of tables and figures) or the text that appears in cells of simple tables. If you would provide the names of those attribute sets, I can try to fix them also.

We have slightly changed the "line-height" attribute everywhere in recent versions of XMLmind DITA Converter to make the output files typographically more correct. See for example "Vertical Rhythm In Typography" -- http://blog.8thlight.com/chris-peak/2012/12/30/vertical-rhythm.html > We did not make any > changes that would affect across-the-board changes to line spacing. > Please explain what I need to do to fix this. > There is no easy way to revert to exactly what did XFC v4.8.2 (other than downgrading to XFC v4.8.2 of course). Please use our XSL customizer to set attribute "line-height" to "1.2". The stock value of this attribute is "1.33". Unfortunately, this attribute belong to many attribute sets with slightly different values (depending on the value of attribute "font-size"). You may start by modifying attribute "line-height" in the attribute set called "base-style" and see if this is sufficient.
