UI for line/column spacing
@egmontkob
Submitted by Egmont Koblinger Link to original bug (#791968)
Description
Bug 781479 added line/column spacing, primarly for accessibility purposes. Chances are that many people would prefer to have it, but don't do an exhaustive web search (let alone after every version update) to find this option.
So I think this feature should be more discoverable.
Approach 1:
Add 2 horizontal sliders (or some other widget) to the "General" tab of profile prefs, under the font chooser button.
Easy to implement, there is room for that, although we might not want to pollute that tab too much.
Approach 2:
Add 2 horizontal sliders (or some other widget) to the font picker dialog (below the preview text and the size slider, above the Cancel/Select buttons).
Needs some work since GtkFontButton's implicitly invoked GtkFontChooserDialog needs to be replaced by a brand new explicit window embedding a GtkFontChooserWidget, the sliders, plus manually repeating the Cancel/Select buttons, all with the same paddings as the non-extendable GtkFontChooserDialog.
Has the weird usability drawback that the preview text doesn't reflect the chosen character spacing (let alone line spacing). We could, however, eventually hide the built-in preview field and create our own one.
