What's the closest equivalent to dy in VML - the VML attribute that can be used to set the line height (aka line spacing, leading, vertical text offset...) of text elements?
Nothing in the official docs for VML textpath stands out, which makes me think that some other general y position based attribute is used. If so, it'd be good to also know how it's calculated and offset, e.g. in multi-line text, is it constant for each line, or increasing by a constant?
Why: for backwards browser compatibility of a Raphael project (javascript-based SVG / VML controller). Raphael doesn't support dy / line-height itself, so I need to work directly with the SVG / VML nodes it creates. SVG is easy: use dy=pixels. But I can't find any relevant docs or resources stating the VML equivalent, and I don't currently have access to IE to find it out by exploring VML ouput in internet explorer.
I thought this question might be as easy as opening up this jsfiddle in IE set to IE8 mode, and using Developer Tools to see what attribute sets the text line spacing. But, after getting access to a machine with IE, I found that... it's just odd. Nothing seems to change the line height, or, any other aspect of how the VML text is printed. No matter what I change, the text just doesn't budge. Can't figure it.
