Fontspec setmonofont line spacing

Question

I am currently using using fontspec to set the mono-space font for my document using

\setmonofont[Scale=MatchLowercase]{Monaco}

The scaling is used to get the font size to match the rest of the document. The size of the characters is scaled, but the line-spacing is not. Is there a way to get the line spacing to scale as well?

Answer 1

The line spacing is tied to the (nominal) fontsize, it doesn't change when you change the font family. If you want a different line spacing e.g. in a code environment you will have to change \baselineskip locally.
