What do you use to find out text size line height etc?

Here is a simple practical test. Open up your page offline in one tab of
a browser and also in another tab of same browser. Remove the line
'line-height: 135%' property altogether on *body* in the CSS and refresh
*one* of the tabs and see how it differs from the other with the
line-height of 135px. Now change the line with the explicit line-height
on, with a lower figure, try for example, 1.21 on Firefox and you will
be close enough to what is set in the default sheet (modern browsers
have a default sheet that sets these things and they are mostly pretty
good but if anything, a wee bit on the small side. So, you are not wrong
to want bigger.) Different browsers differ on the default, but not by
all that much.

It is all a bit more complicated but basically, if you are not happy
with *all* the line-heights on your page, it is open to you to set a
higher one. If it is just the paragraphs that you want a bigger distance
between the lines for, just set the line-height on them:

p {line-height: 1.3}

What browser was this in???

* The browser is irrelevant. You haven't allowed for people who use
* larger font sizes than yours. The problem exists in all browsers

* There plenty of room in the browser window for it to fit on one

* width of your page.
