space between title and content?

there is a line break between my title/etc. and the content of my post. how do i get rid of it? it doesn’t show up in the code. this is the section of the code

<?php _e("Filed under:"); ?> <?php the_category(',') ?> — <?php the_author() ?> @ <?php the_time() ?> <?php edit_post_link(__('Edit This')); ?></font><?php the_content(__('(more...)')); ?>

in between </font> and <?php... a line break will show up on the page.
