I also don't know how to do this - as far as I know the height and width
parameters of the listbox widget refer to number of lines and characters
respectively - I cant see anything that gives you control over the height of a
line - but maybe I am looking in the wrong place - I know that if you use a
bigger font the individual lines get bigger - but it looks proportional to me.
