Drawing Text

[wysota]

1) Can I reduce the line spacing? (I would like to increase the font size)

I don't think you can. Unless you use another font with a smaller leading value.

2) Is this the best method to draw text taking into consideration other languages? I worry that the top line will cut-off accents.

It's best to ask the font metrics for the geometry of a text you want drawn. QFontMetrics::boundingRect() will help you do that.
