Hello, Erwin,    

You can change the font of the messages in RadChat by handling the ItemFormatting event and modifying the TextMessageItemElement.MainMessageElement.Font element: 

Font f = new Font("Arial",8f, FontStyle.Regular);
private void radChat1_ItemFormatting(object sender, ChatItemElementEventArgs e)
{
    TextMessageItemElement message = e.ItemElement as TextMessageItemElement;
    if (message!=null)
    {
        message.MainMessageElement.Font = f;
    }
}

Thus, the height of the message elements will be automatically adjusted considering the font.

As to the spacing between the chat messages, you can set the ChatElement.MessagesViewElement.ItemSpacing property to the desired spacing: 

this.radChat1.ChatElement.MessagesViewElement.ItemSpacing = 50;

I hope this information helps. If you have any additional questions, please let me know. 

Regards,
Dess
