The spacing property

Sets the line spacing in pixels. This will be added to the recommended line spacing of your font, which it’s usually a few more pixels than necessary for lines to not overlap. Negative numbers bring lines together.

Examples

-- Font properties
font = {
    file = "assets/fonts/Roboto-Medium.ttf",
    size = 28,
    color = {r = 255, g = 255, b = 255, a = 255},
    shadowDistance = 0,
    shadowColor = {r = 0, g = 0, b = 0, a = 0}
}

-- Create a Text object
local text = Text.new(font, 1)

-- Set a max size and the text to display
text:setText("This is the text to display")
text:setMaxSize(160, 0)
text:show()

-- Set the line spacing so that lines are a bit closer
text.spacing = -5
