Ireport extra vertical white space

[aniri.g]

When I need to decrease vertical white space between 2 text fields, I put one on the top of the second one partually and it works perfectly ok, when 2 fields are in the same band.

How do I remove extra white space in Detail band? I tried to play with line spacing and it does not do it. It seems I can not go less than one pixel .

I'd like to have what is called 'Negative leading'.

Where to look for examples of custom text measurer?

How to make the text field size the same as the font size?

Thank you for help. This is a detail band with height 15, 2 text items with height 15.

Font is SansSerif. I'd like to have a fontsize the same as the text item height, in this case 15 (event 14 will do).

Only when I set the font size to 11, I can see my data, when it is larger than 11, there is nothing shown. 

I did not set any padding on my text items and still there is too much of white space between the lines.  

I'd like to put a negative line spacing in the detail band to remove this white space.

I solved this problem today by finding a few other fonts where this 2 numbers can be the same: text box height and the font size.

But I still would like to be more flexible with what and where I put on my report, to have it 'pixel perfect'.

In the second file I put 2 sets of text items in summary band overlapped and there is much less of vertical white space in the second example.
