custom line spacing

[rtorresware]

Could it be possible to add custom line spacing in the kitty.conf file?
Something like a % of the font height.

Amazing, I already tested it out and works perfectly. The lines are correctly spaced and the powerline symbols are intact! No other terminal is able to do this! This and other features make kitty the best terminal emulator. Thank you very much for your quick action.

Is it possible to adjust the line height only for shell prompts? I'd like little more space there, but keep code lines compact.

Just curious, why was the adjust_line_height parameter and documentation removed from the (sample) kitty.conf although it's still working? I just found about it through this issue.

This option has been replaced by modify_font in version 0.26.0, as you can see in the changelog.
The old deprecated options are still working to ensure backward compatibility for as long as possible.

Thanks for the explanation. So adjust_line_height 110% becomes modify_font cell_height 110%, right?

The behaviour here is less useful than alacritty - if a descender goes outside of the stated cell size, kitty will clip it, where as alacritty will allow letters to overlap, which is more readable.
