I've found what I was looking for. There's a pair of settings for "strut" in the Qt settings panel: one each for minimum x and minimum y text size. All I had to do was to put a small, non-zero number in there and the vertical space occupied by a line of text became more reasonable. I could have found this earlier but I didn't recognise the term "strut". I knew about "leading" (a strip of lead that a printer would insert between rows of text to space them out); it seems this is similar in effect. That's today's new thing to learn. I hope it helps somebody. -- Rgds Peter
