# usesFontLeading

A Boolean value that controls whether the framework uses the leading information specified by the font when laying out text.

## Declaration

```swift
var usesFontLeading: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion If set to true, uses the leading as specified by the font. However, this isn’t appropriate for most UI text. Defaults to true.
