What you are wanting is the setLineSpacing() command -- see the Scripter 
docs for details. You may need to experiment outside of Scripter to know 
what you want the linespacing to be.
If you are trying to have different linespacing in different lines of 
the frame, this won't work, since it sets it for the whole frame. In 
that case, I would suggest making a separate frame for this vertically 
running text.
