Re: problem with layers and line spacing

["Brian R. Landy" <brian@landy.cx>]

Understood, but actually it is obeying the 12pt switchtobodyfont for  
the interline spacing in the backgrounds. It is not using either the  
layer's switchtobodyfont, which I think should be correct behavior,  
nor is it obeying the setupbodyfont. Note that the font size is  
correct, it is the interline spacing that is incorrect.

Thanks,
Brian
