Is there an Optical Leading function?

[mistercitizen]

I've looked in "help" etc. No luck.

I was wondering if there was an optical leading function. Ie. for use with display headings of two or more lines.

Say, for example I have three lines of heading:

• The top line has a lot of descenders,
• the second line has a lot of ascenders (but no descenders),
• and the last line has not got neither ascenders or descenders.

With the leading set equal across all three lines, the combination of ascenders and descender witll make the first two lines look closer togethr than the second and third line.

Is there an automatic/optical function to remedy this - or is this something that must be controlled manually?

Thanks again!

You are seeking something that could be cool in the right hands and terrible in the wrong hands. I've not seen this function developed yet in any design application.
