How to fix increased line spacing in iOS 12 on iPhone X/8/7/6/5

Fix 1: Remove any third language support

You should try to remove any third language added. Eg you might have added Arabian, urdu etc. Please remove them and the line spacing should be normal after that.

Fix 2: Hard restart the iPhone

Hard restart the iPhone and check if this issue is fixed or not. If not please do a fresh install of iOS 12 and check if line spacing look OK. If line spacing is fine in fresh iOS 12, then probably something from your backup is creating this issue.
Surely this is bug in iOS 12 that should be address in upcoming releases.
