Vscode: Allow Line Height to be Any number

[ahmadawais]

I like to follow the golden ratio rule of design and calculate the exact line height required by a font face for it to look good. For that, 1.2 to 1.45 times the font size is the best size bracket.

I currently use:

"editor.lineHeight": 24.65,

My claim is backed by some of the industry-leading typographers like Matthew Butterick recommends line-height to be 120–145% of the font size.

But I am currently having issues with it.

Whereas the debug console line-height still works as a non-integer.

"debug.console.lineHeight": 24.65,

Can you folks allow any number value to be used for "editor.lineHeight" property as well?

Peace! ✌️

I don't understand the obsession with absolute line-height. Wouldn't it make sense to request relative line-height support (That would actually scale depending on font-size).
