But really it should be the other way around. I'd really like to support menus with menu items which are multiple wrapped lines of text. Especially in multichoice(). Obviousy the spacing between menu items should be larger than the spacing between lines.<br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"></div><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 25 July 2017 at 08:04, James Paige <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:Bob@hamsterrepublic.com" target="_blank">Bob@hamsterrepublic.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div>I used to use 8 for everything.

Add lineheight() function. Not too useful yet, as it always returns 10, which I'm not convinced is right<br>
<br>
10 is the value used by text slices and draw_menu; standard menu uses 8 or 9<br>
depending on whether edged font is used, and nonstandard menus use 8-10.<br>
So, actually converting code to use lineheight() is very problematic. I'd<br>
really like to be consistent, but don't even know whether edged and plain font<br>
should be considered to be the same height.<br>
