PDFsharp & MigraDoc Foundation

How can I specify leading as well as font size? Typically I have font size of 9 and leading of 11 on my reports. Next most common is font size 8 and leading of 10.

I'm not a typographic expert, but I think it means something like this:
(font size 9, leading 11): The font size is 9, but the vertical spacing from line to line is like the font size were 11.

Thanks,
Jon

In MigraDoc you simple set the font size to 9 and the line spacing to exactly 11 or to at least 11.

Thank you very much. I see that I did not state my output is PDF. So, if I build my report in MigraDoc, can I readily transform that to a PDF file?

Yes.

With PDFsharp, line spacing (and leading) is to be controlled by you.

MigraDoc creates PDF. Just check the HelloWorld and HelloMigraDoc samples.

Thanks, I'll check those out.

I tried this, but it does not seem to make any difference.

doc.Styles.AddStyle("nine11", "Normal");
Style sty911b = doc.Styles["nine11"];
sty911b.Font.Size = 9;
sty911b.ParagraphFormat.LineSpacing = 11;
sty911b.ParagraphFormat.LineSpacingRule = LineSpacingRule.AtLeast;
sty911b.Font.Bold = true;

par.AddFormattedText(" " + s, sty911b.Font);

If I use LineSpacing = 9; or = 11; or = 21; or anything else, the PDF I render is exactly the same.
What am I missing?

Thanks, Jon

With that call, you're not setting the paragraph style of the paragraph - therefore the linespacing of the style has no effect.

Try
