Hi Eric,
If you want constant spacing of lines regardless of the height of the text
in the lines, set this property on the fo:block:
line-stacking-strategy="font-height"
That sets the line spacing to be the line-height for the nominal font used
for the block. You could set it in the normal.para.spacing attribute-set.

Bob,
Thanks for the tip. I update my customization layer to use:
<xsl:attribute-set name="monospace.properties">
<xsl:attribute name="line-height">0.85em</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="font-size">0.9em</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>
But, I still get the extra space between the lines. I tried shrinking
the line-height but it doesn't seem to have an effect. It shows up in
the FO output, but not in the PDF. I can shrink the font-size and the
font shrinks, but the extra space stays.
I use XEP so I'm assuming that it supports line-height. Are there other
properties that I could have set that would invalidate the line-height
setting.
TIA,
Eric

Hi Eric,
I use something like this:
<xsl:attribute-set name="monospace.properties">
<xsl:attribute name="line-height">0.85em</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="font-size">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="ancestor::note
or ancestor::warning
or ancestor::important
or ancestor::caution
or ancestor::title
or ancestor::literal
or ancestor::filename
or ancestor::programlisting
or ancestor::literallayout">0.9em</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>0.85em</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>
The use of em units means it is proportional to the current font size,
so it
works for titles. The reason for the xsl:choose is because the
sans-serif
font I use for the listed elements has a larger x-height, so 0.9em
looks
better inline than the 0.85em used for body text. You can experiment as
needed.

What I'm trying to fix is the extra spacing between lines when I use
courier new.

Subject: monospace font-size in FO output
Is there a way to adjust the font-size used for monospace fonts that
does not for titles and headers to use the same size as the body text?
I'm using CourierNew and need to make it shrink about 90% in order to
not make my line spacing look all ragged.
