DU4: Any suggestions for how to increase line spacing?

Space between lines seems to be greatly diminished, making a wall of text out of every paragraph. It's even worse for the titles, in bold, along the right side.

Tried changing the font size in Firefox, but can't find anything about line spacing.

10 point font and 110% is readable, but headlines are HUGE Hermit-The-Prog Oct 2023 #8

I'm on a lap top too at the moment and using Firefox. If you hold the control button down and tap the plus sign, does that make a difference in what you see? It makes things bigger and more spread out on the screen for me and I don't feel like spacing is as much of an issue. Forgive me if that isn't the problem you're describing.

My default zoom is 100%.
Right now I have the font set at 12 point and the line spacing is better, but that font that small is hard for me to read. I'm going to try it on various DU pages and with various zooms.

Have to hit ctrl-0 (back to default zoom) for any page with lots of titles / headlines.

At 150%, columns disappear.

I now have Firefox set to NOT "Allow pages to choose their own fonts".
