here the .xml config produced by running:
TypeTuner.exe -x and.xml AndBasR.ttf
So, there is
<feature name="Line spacing" value="Normal">
and possible values
<value name="Normal"/>
<value name="Tight"/>
<value name="Loose"/>
<value name="Imported"/>
i can try to rebuild font using 'Tight' line spacing.
But i don't want to install this font on my windoze box. Is
squeak/freetype allows to load a truetype font from directory where vm
located?
