on the screen, it looks more aesthetically pleasing to have a larger
gap between lines than is given by default. I added a new parameter,
lineSpacing, in the Text class to allow the line spacing to be adjustable
by the application. The default value is 0 meaning there is no extra
spacing given. The value should be given as a percentage of the character
height. A good value for longer paragraphs is 0.25 (25%) or more."
