By default a WPF TextBlock seems to have additional top and bottom padding applied. I wish this wasn\'t so.

I\'ve tried setting negative paddin
This is probably part of the font which is Segoe UI by default, try Segoe instead for example. (You cannot assign negative padding but you could assign negative Margins, e.g.: Margin="0,-3,0,0")
