I thought you meant line width and was confused because it's in the generally accepted range (~70 characters).

The line height, I agree, is too tight. 19.2px at 16px font size is too cramped at only 1.2x. Making it 24px is a big improvement.

To my eye, however, a taller line height doesn't affect the tables and other character graphics. With some tweaks like this I think the monospace style comes across quite well.

* edit - I think I see your point; it does break the author's concept of the fixed grid (set line-height: 24px for p elements and turn on the author's "debug mode" to see the grid.

you could adjust the margins between paragraphs to fix the fixed grid, but then the tables won't adhere to it

turning on the debug mode shows that the text gets misaligned with the grid
