Line Spacing and Line Height (Leading) Metrics

Post by nev »

I read in a guide to "line height (aka 'leading')" that line height should ideally be set to 120-140% of the font size.

In my Nisus document, I am using Palatino 12-point, with 1.3 line spacing in the main body of the text.

Am I right in thinking that the "1.3 line spacing" I've set is 1.3 x 12 points, being therefore 15.6 points (and being thus 130% of 12 points)?
