>then manually count the pixels to make sure they're separated by the arbitrary spacing i want them to be (in this case one pixel from the lowest point of the lowest lowercase letter and the highest point of the highest lowercase letter)
i had half a mind since this post to actually standardize this proportionally by calculating how a one pixel difference would scale for higher font sizes, but i tested it at some 400+ font size (even adding my "stroke" layers to it), and i don't think it looked bad, or anything (where i purposely arranged the letters such that they'd touch without the one-pixel difference), so i think i'll just keep a one pixel difference for every font size, since it's technically higher density, anyway. also, i accidentally zoomed-into the lowercase "j" of my font ("pally bold") and found that it actually technically reaches one (1) pixel lower than the other lowercase letters, even if in an imperceptible way unless you're using absurd font sizes. so the only letters i need to measure spacing are "f" as the highest and "j" as the lowest lowercase letter. but it's weird, since at font size 41 i thought i was being schizo in thinking "f" reached higher than the other lowercase letters, but then at 50 font size it did again. of course, at bigger font sizes these slight distinctions become increasingly blatant to see, so it's still correct to only use these letters for reference. i'd post an image of me looking at this in gimp again, but after realizing that the "j" reached lower than the others (which ends-up reaching waay lower than them at that 400+ font size), i didn't want to post that failed reference for what a one pixel gap looks like, and was too lazy to remake it properly
actually, after making three max-character text posts i have yet to submit, i felt the least i could do is open gimp and remake the one pixel line spacing comparison properly, so only 2/3 of my max-character posts are text posts. 500 vs. 50 font size
