Hello Jeff, I can remember that we once did this for a customer a long time ago where the Image With String patch hadn't all the bells and whistles. It was lots of work including having the character spacing of a generic font in a table, scan the text by our selfs in JavaScript and calculating the width of each text line in pixels by calculating the soft wrap for the text respecting words and punctation, ending up with an array of strings (one for each line) which we rendered within an iterator. Because we weren't depending on the exact pixel width for each text line in our calculations the approximation of the soft wrap worked for us. Once you have separate strings for each line you can do your line spacing yourself.
