Okay.  Thanks for your evaluation.

Actually I'm not so happy with those large line spacings.

I tried some fonts (e.g. Inconsolata and Courier) from Options."Set
Default Font" but did not find any font keeping the line spacing small.

Any hints how to keep the line spacing small?  And even use the
Inconsolata font?
