I misunderstood what a "Leading" was, I thought it was the amount of space from the beginning of the line, with a value of 9 everything starts behaving as intended. Thanks greatly for your input! > Also: what is 9? Is it a font size?

During my work I decided that the space that I needed to move my y along for a new line is 9. I will change it to a meaningful variable now. > There are some other oddities in your text.

I was under the impression that the origin was always in the lower left corner (I had assumed that it was the upper left corner until I had cottoned on). Thanks for responding so promptly, everything is solved for me by actually specifying a leading amount... The more you know.
