Reply To: Turn off autoleading

You can have the cake and eat it too.

I always define the auto leading percentage in the paragraph style settings so that when I decide to change the size of the paragraph it adjusts accordingly. But in the case when I want to change the size of a particular character(s) in the paragraph, instead of overriding it locally (which is a typography sin…) I apply to it an appropriate character style with a lower leading value than the paragraph’s. So unless these characters take up an entire line, the leading stays the same in the entire paragraph.
