real solution would be in the line spacing, set under special settings... go to the pspad config dialog / button direct edit / special settings section / ExtraLineSpacing=n
where n is a number (in my case 0, the font im using has decent line spacing per se), increase the number little by little until you find a value you like -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,29365,29382> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
