Thanks to Patrick and Hans I've a layout approaching what I want. My
layout look slightly different to the one I'm posting. However this
layout demonstrates my question, and uses a more available font.
If you look at the output, you'll see, at the bottom of the main text
area, whitespace. The whitespace exists because there isn't enough
room to fit another line in the text area. My question is, can I
specify an integer number of lines in the text area, and have the
excess whitespace distributed evenly in my \headerdistance and
\footerdistance.
If this isn't possible without calculations, is it possible to log the
underfull \vbox messages? So I've some feedback that I can use to
adjust my \headerdistance and \footerdistance manually.
