This is quite off, is there a chance that you are using a different version to the figma hosted version? local install maybe ?
I'm not too sure how figma refers to local fonts vs it's own hosted fonts but i'd like to triage this to figure out the root cause of this behaviour.
It's not a local install, interestingly... I believe this is a Figma hosted version. The only local install I have is Poppins (even that is also Figma Hosted)
But anyway thanks for the fast respond!
From my (very amateur) research it seems Figma maintain their own host of google fonts and could have updated from a very old version that had different vertical metrics.
Hmmm, I see... so maybe it's best for my team to contact Figma's internal team, then?
Heyy @andyfitz
I just got back from the Engineers in my company, they've tried it on a localhost through importing the Overpass via Google Fonts. It would seem that the baseline is still higher than other known typefaces.
So.... Is it still host-related problem, but now from the Google Fonts? Or is there something my team could do to help this?
Thank youu
There is a difference in baseline between Overpass 3.0 and Overpass 4.0. When using the web Figma, VS desktop figma - you get differences as well.
Thank you @arihernandez
I've been browsing past pull requests on ver 3.0.4 and ver 4.0, using Bold font weights. The baseline looks significantly different from naked eye
Want to know again whether this was intentional or not.. Would love to hear back from you guys soon!
I'm also experiencing this, but in Gnome (as system UI font). And using the latest v4.00 font files!
The only release without this issue was the one on FontSquirrel, every single one but that one had this weird baseline.
Hello.
Thank you so much for creating and maintaining this very usable fonts. However I've encountered some issue a few days ago.
So we're using this typeface for more than a year by now in Figma. However, just a couple of days ago, suddenly this typeface's baseline were slightly higher than usual. It's not very noticeable on the naked eye, but if you stick an object next to them (or if you zoom in really really close), the entire object looks slightly unbalanced.
It was normal when we first attach these typefaces, but when we change the content with the Text Editor, suddenly the baseline goes up.
This is how it looks like on our Figma https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/97717609/149487076-4fd6a492-4a88-490c-95fa-751277704af8.mov
Also, when this typeface are compared with other fonts (just for benchmarking purposes), it is also quite noticeable that the baseline is higher on Figma.
We also saw this similar issue a while ago, but it seems that in the codepen it's very normal https://github.com/RedHatOfficial/Overpass/issues/56
Soooo, was this high baseline intentionally designed? Or is there something wrong?
Would be lovely to hear from the folks soon, Thank you!
