It looks to me like it is all in the text._get_layout() method, where a 2-pixel pad is specified in one place, and an additional 3-pixel pad in another; both seem to be used for vertical spacing, so it is 5 pixels. Certainly for line spacing, and probably in other places related to text positioning, I would think pads usually should be in fractions of the font size, not fixed numbers of pixels. Comments? Unless someone else would like to do it, I can take care of this at least as far as putting an rcParam entry for inter-line spacing as a fraction of font height, and a corresponding kwarg in Text and TextWithDash.
