In the attached file, loading the font with \setupbodyfont gives narrower interline spacing than with font (you have to comment out the \setupbodyfont line to see this), I'm not sure if this is normal, but the first case gives different interline spaces from line to line. I tested it with two different fonts. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer

\font does nothing with interlinespace at all \setupbodyfont does set the interlinespace as defined by the bodyfont environment (2.8 ex by default with a 72:28 ht/dp ratio) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

OK, however that was a side issue, my real problem is the variable interline spacing, see the attached file; the first interline space is considerably larger than the others, this seems to be due to the diacritics on the second line. Shouldn't the interline space to be fixed in all lines? Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer

change the line distance, you could check it with \showgrid. a distance of 4ex is enough, \setupinterlinespace[line=4ex] Wolfgang

Thanks for the tip, I just had the illusion that this is a new behaviour. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer
