Leading is the space between lines of the same paragraph. (Gutenberg used to put strips of lead to separate the metal blocks of type.)

Do you have one line of type? Or one or more paragraphs? It's a character setting, so the text has to be selected first, then you can change the leading in the Character panel (Window menu).

If it's still not working, select your text with the Type tool and show your Character panel.

You are most likely using InDesign, Illustrator, or Photoshop, but could be using something else. There is some fine-tuning depending on the application.

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

So it's text on a path?

In that case use the baseline shift in the Character panel. You might need to show the options to even get that setting.
