Line Spacing for Chaarcter image Object?

I've got the graphics of text & #'s which usually take up 8x8 tiles for the character image object. However, I noticed that the line spacing is quite different than the line spacing I once used for the old Text Blitter Object.

Take for example, my string of text looks like this.

Quote:

---

- This is line 1.
- This is line 2.

When I go to make it type the string in the text blitter object, it looks like this.

Quote:

---

- This is line 1.
- This is line 2.

Okay, here's the problem. When I go to use the character image object to type the text, it comes up like this.

Quote:

---

- This is line 1.

- This is line 2.

There seems to be a bit more spacing in between each line. Is there any way I can change this in the character image object? I looked around to see if I could spot anything that could change this, but I didn't see anything at all.
