JEditorPane Line spacing help

Question

I've done a few searches on here and google, and not found an answer yet, is it possible to alter the line spacing of the text in a JEditorPane, when running my app under Linux (Ubuntu), the spacing is way too much, altering the font seems to help a bit. I'm displaying HTML inside it, mainly plain text, but sometimes <A tag links.
Heres a picture to demonstrate, the same JEditorPane displaying the same text on Windows, Mac and Linux...

As you can see on Linux, theres more line spacing, and its switched on the vertical scroll bar, so if I could programatically tweek the line spacing depending on the OS, that would really help.
Or is there another control I could use? It needs to display HTML with hyperlinks and images <img tags.

Have a look

here: [http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/editorpane.html]
and here: [http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/generaltext.html].
There's a style attribute that should do the trick: [http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/text/StyleConstants.html#LineSpacing].
Sample code to give you an idea (not tested, no warranty; may possibly be done better; may be done with Styles... etc.):
JEditorPane jep = new JEditorPane();
StyledDocument doc = (StyledDocument) jep.getDocument();
int paragraph = 0;
float newlinespacing = .4f;
Element el = doc.getParagraphElement(paragraph);
MutableAttributeSet mas = new SimpleAttributeSet();
StyleConstants.setLineSpacing(mas, newlinespacing);
doc.setParagraphAttributes(
    0, el.getEndOffset() - el.getStartOffset(), mas, false
);
