Decrease line spacing in a TextBlock / FlowDocument
Some fonts have a large amount of whitespace above and below the characters. Is there a way to correct for that, and tighten up the space between lines of a word-wrapped paragraph in WPF (in either a TextBlock or a FlowDocument)? Kind of like a negative margin between lines?
There's a LineHeight
property on Paragraph
and TextBlock
, but it only seems to let you increase the spacing -- if you set it to a smaller value than the default, it's simply ignored.
Set the LineHeight
like before, but change the LineStackingStrategy
to BlockLineHeight
To exemplify @Joel's answer (which is still very useful 5 years later :P)
<StackPanel VerticalAlignment="Center">
<Button Width="137" Height="47.96">
<TextBlock Text="This is a very long text that gets cut because it is so long" TextWrapping="Wrap"/>
</Button>
<Button Width="137" Height="47.96">
<TextBlock Text="This is a very long text that doesn't cut thanks to @Joel" TextWrapping="Wrap"
LineStackingStrategy="BlockLineHeight" LineHeight="13"/>
</Button>
</StackPanel>
