Change line-spacing / line height in Eclipse IDE

Tags:

I know this has been already posted but quite time ago, so I ask again in case something changed: is there a way to set line-spacing / line-height in Eclipse text editor? The default settings doesn't seem to me very readable - see the difference: http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/3315/eclipseyh.png (generally Eclipse renders fonts weirdly, they look much better in gvim).

I've read the tip that I could manually edit some font and modify its attributes but that seems a little bit over-complicated for such a simple task.

Is line spacing the same as line height?

Line height, also known as leading, is the distance between each line when you have two or more rows of text. Letter spacing, also known as tracking, is the size of the gaps between each letter of each word.

What is optimal line spacing?

For most text, the optimal line spacing is between 120% and 145% of the point size. Most word processors, as well as CSS, let you define line spacing as a multiple. Or you can do the math—multiply your point size by the percentage. (The text in this paragraph has line spacing of 110%.
