Usual line spacings for text are 6 or 8 lines per inch (lpi).
With the variable spacing commands you can define the line spac-
ings via the parameter n in multiples of 1/60 inch, 1/180 inch or
1/360 inch. This has no effect on the character height, but only
changes the spacing between the lines. These commands do not ex-
ecute a line feed, but only set the line spacing which is used by a
following line feed command.
