As you've found, Lout does not do this automatically.  I don't think
it should, because I don't think there is a standard amount to do it by.

If you commonly need a particular combination of font and line
spacing, make a definition:

    def @FinePrint right x { 7p @Font 9px @Break x }

or a macro:

    macro @FinePrint { 7p @Font 9px @Break }

See the user's guide for where to put it.  Then you can write

    @IndentedDisplay @FinePrint { ... }

and so on.
