12-Linien-Hintergrundgitters/Hintergrundrasters

Explanation:
Es handelt sich wohl um [ein Programm für] (PC-) Drucker.

Ich lege "lead" in der Bedeutung "Durchschuss" {Langensch. FWB Techn. u. angew. Wiss, 2005} aus der klassischen Drucktechnik zugrunde.
("Durchschuss = Blindmaterial in Form dünner Metallstreifen zur Erweiterung der Zeilenzwischenräume auf der Druckseite (Durchschießen) über den sich aus dem Schriftkegel ergebenden Zeilenabstand hinaus" {Brockhaus ABC der Naturwiss. u. Techn., Leipzig 1960}) (Oder vereinfacht ausgedrückt: Die Durchschuss-Streifen machen den Zeilenabstand größer, als er sich ergeben würde, wenn die Drucklettern direkt "übereinander" gesetzt würden.)
("Kegelstärke" entspricht "Höhe" der Lettern in Richtung der "Buchstabenhöhe", ist also gleich Buchstabenhöhe + beidseitiger Überstand (in Höhenrichtung) am Letter/"Buchstabenstempel")

Demnach weist "lead" in dieser Bedeutung auf einen "horizontalen (linienparallelen) Abstand" auf Druckseiten.

Da die meisten Drucker das Druckbild ebenfalls linienweise aufbauen (hier wohl durch jeweils gleichzeitigen Druck von 12 Linien), halte ich die obige Vermutung für berechtigt.
