I have cygwin installed on windows 7. Previously, there was no space between lines. I was able to fit ~90 lines on my screen. For some reason, now there is a small (looks like 2 pt) space between every line, and now I can only fit ~75 lines on screen.

I first noticed this when I was goofing off with an ascii autobot symbol. It used to be smooth, but now it looks like this:

It's pretty annoying that I've lost 15 lines per screen. It makes tracking log files more difficult. Is it possible to edit this somehow? I haven't been able to find a line spacing option anywhere.

  • I just updated Cygwin and noticed this myself. Since I use misc-fix 7x14, a RowSpacing=-1 gives me how it looks before (though I may try -2 to get more lines in my terminal).

Adding

RowSpacing=-2

to ~/.minttyrc solved it for me. You might want to try different (negative) values depending on the font you use. I prefer Lucida Console 9, setting RowSpacing to -2 restored the look as it was before Mintty version 2.2.4.
