Hi,

It might be easier to try:-

=========================================================================

.ps 16
.vs 20
.TS
tab(|);
l l l.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx   |11111111111111111  |\_
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx   |11111111111111111  |\_
.TE

==========================================================================

'.ps' sets the font size.
'.vs' sets the vertical space.

so in this case it has 25% 'leading' between the lines.
