I miswrote, my apologies.

I meant to say, I set the line-spacing variable (not the line-height).

I was looking into the C source code and debugging Emacs to try and 
figure out how the height of a cursor at the EOL is decided (with no luck).

Anyways, the effect I want to accomplish is, after setting line-spacing 
to a value, I'd want the cursor to always be the full line of the 
height, and not the character underneath. I'd attach an image showing 
exactly what I want to reproduce, but I'm not sure if image attachments 
are okay or even usable in a mailing list.
