Hi Adrian,
This is a very popular question, which is why it's been asked here before. You might benefit from my answer here: “Is there a way to change the font size in WordPress?”

Is there a way to edit line spacing?
Are there going to be any updates in font choices?
Also, when I type info in "paragraph 2" for example, it looks different when I view the actual page.
Also, can text be underlined?

Yes, line spacing can be edited, and text can also be underlined.
To adjust line spacing, you'll need to edit the CSS or stylesheet for your website. The easiest way to do that is to add CSS in the “Additional CSS” section of the Customizer.
Line spacing may be adjusted using any of the following CSS methods (where 'div.x' will be replaced by the name of the object you are attempting to modify):
div.a {
line-height: normal;
}
div.b {
line-height: 1.6;
}
div.c {
line-height: 80%;
}
div.d {
line-height: 200%;
}
If that proves overly complicated, don't sweat it! Just reach out to one of the experts at Codeable and they can edit your theme's stylesheet in just a few minutes. Start right here: https://wp101.com/help/
The 'underline' and 'justify' buttons were removed from the WordPress post editor toolbar in WordPress 4.7. Underlined text can easily be mistaken for links, since links are typically underlined. So, it's generally not a great idea to underline text in most cases.
But to restore those buttons to your website, simply install and activate the “Re-add text underline and justify” plugin. Once you install and activate that plugin, simply visit the settings to choose which button(s) you'd like to restore to your toolbar.
That's it. When you finish, those buttons will appear in your toolbar. Simply highlight text you wish to underline, and click the newly-restored underline button to underline the highlighted text.
Hope this helps!
