Defenders of Descenders - Narrowed Line Height in Word

How can you use a big size font AND narrow the line height AND preserve the descenders on letters like lower case "g", "q", "p" and the like.

Using Multiple Linespacing at .9 some of the letters are getting cut.

My need is for Serif fonts, but, if there's an answer for Sans and serif then great!

Seems to be some kind of compromise between the many factors illustrated in the
