LyX ⇒ How many points is single line spacing?

[Cosm]

On this page:
http://wiki.lyx.org/FAQ/Spacing
It says 'Single spacing is usually ca. 1.2 * line height (the precise value depends on the font size).'

I wonder is there a way to find out for a specific font what the precise value of single spacing is (i.e. the precise value of line height + leading).

By the way here is a nice picture that explains the concepts of 'leading' and 'line spacing':

Use \the to print the value:

Code: Select all
