Sorry for the inconvenience, I'm still trying to figure out my way 
around mailing lists and replies on the list.

By setting line-spacing, I want to add space above and below the line. I 
know line-spacing is only for space below the line, and as such have 
applied a patch to a local checkout of the Emacs source code to split 
the space evenly above and below the line.

Lastly, I did set the cursor-type to 'bar. While that works, the cursor 
now becomes opaque, in a sense, and I'm unable to see the character 
below the cursor.

Cheers,
