This sample google-hit agrees with my deep storage: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A896231 It has a section: """ Leading Leading (it rhymes with 'heading', not 'pleading') is something that is usually dealt with automatically by a typewriter or WP program, so you might never even be consciously aware of it. A good WP program will, however, allow you to adjust the leading. This can be very useful at times, so it's good to know about it. If you have ever tried to read anything where the lines were jammed up tight against each other you will know how difficult and tiring that can be. Leading is simply extra space between lines of type, to help the eye move from the end of one line to the beginning of the next. In the old days a typesetter would insert a thin strip of lead after each line of type. """
Hence the term "leading" (pronounced like "ledding"). -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
