v2105.24.1 and up are slightly more stretched on vertical axis

[LuanVSO]

these are both Delugia complete v2105.24.2 (right): now cascadia code (left) and delugia v2105.24.2 (right):

Hej Luan,

I can not reproduce. It put some fonts next to each other in Writer, in separate Columns (where they can have individual line heights):

Both dashed line pairs are 121px apart, so all 4 blocks have the same height.

The font files I used are:

• ttf/CascadiaCode.ttf 2105.24
• ttf/CascadiaCodePL.ttf 2105.24
• DelugiaBook.ttf 2105.24.2
• DelugiaComplete.ttf 2105.24.2

Having a closer look at your images I assume you have accidentally swapped them. Anyhow, here are both images with some added lines at 250%:

Your bottom image:

All looks fine.

Your top image:

Here I shifted the right part (where the vertical dashed blue line is) up by 2 pixels. The vertical height is identical in both fonts, just Terminal seems to start the right font (Delugia?) a bit higher in the window?

My conclusion from this examination is:

• Its not vertically stretched, line heights are identical (in both your images and in my test)
• Delugia seems to have a initial vertical offset of 2px in Terminal but not in Writer

Is this what you mean?

Edit: Added information about 121px height

In fact there is even no 2px shift. I already had it in the image above...:

After the shift the window title is of same height, so what you did is just shift one of the windows.

I see no difference here at all. Please reopen if you still believe there is a problem and can show some conclusive images, Thank you for filing the issue, though :-)

Had another look...

I believe now I know what you mean:

[Finii]

I still can not reproduce with Writer:

Capital-height is the same here.

Now in the Gnome Terminal:

Cascadia:

Delugia:

Looks a bit different, esp Delugia's bold is less more bold. But then, I do not have Delugia Bold installed, so it is autogenerated, while it is embedded in the Cascadia font file.

Having a closer look:

Yes, the capital height is different! (slightly)

Edit: Correct less -> more

[Finii]

Ah ha!

Now I used ttf/static/CascadiaCodePL-Regular.ttf, and its height is identical to DelugiaComplete.ttf:

Here a magnified view:

---

Conclusion:

So there is a capital height difference between the all-in-one CascadiaCodePL.ttf and the Microsoft supplied static version CascadiaCodePL-Regular.ttf

Delugia is based on the static Cascadia Code font, and there is no height difference between the two. Delugia up to v2105.24 based on the dynamic CascadiaCodePL.ttf font.

The switch to the static fonts has been necessary because we can not patch in all the other glyphs while keeping the font dynamic. Read 'can not' as would require considerable amounts of time.

I believe one can live with the slightly different height rendering. Different... Well, this is Delugia and it renders as high as Delugia renders ;-)

Just to add to this: The type designer of Cascadia is also saying that the static versions of Cascadia differ quite strongly from the variable TTF versions
