Set the font line height of a Xamarin.Forms Label -

i have xamarin.forms label showing several lines of text , increase line height make text more readable.

the font properties available on label control , on span controls seem limited font face, size , style.

how can change line height?

you'll need custom control , render can inherit existing ones , handle additional properties. ios (idk android) can use

// goes in forms project public class customlabel : label{   // make bindable, shortened simplicity here   public double lineheight {get;set;} }  // goes in ios project, 1 in android project // notice attribute before namespace [assembly: exportrendererattribute (typeof(customlabel), typeof(customlabelrenderer))] namespace mynamespace{ public class customlabelrenderer: labelrenderer   protected override void onelementchanged (elementchangedeventargs<frame> e){     base.onelementchanged(e);   // sample only; expand, validate , handle edge cases needed     ((uilabel)base.control).font.lineheight = ((customlabel)this.element).lineheight;   }    // if property bindable can handle changes in method:   // protected override void onelementpropertychanged (object sender, system.componentmodel.propertychangedeventargs e) } 

as far ios (idk if android has feature) can use uiappearance of uilabel increase line height throughout app, in lines of:

uilabel.appearance.font.lineheight = 20f;
