Differing heights of capitals in VS (due to hinting?) #115

Closed scottmcm closed 4 years ago

scottmcm commented 4 years ago

My VS is currently rendering THING as follows, with the HN seeming shorter than the TIG: image

NN-rescaled of the above, to show that it's 3 pixels different (out of 19): image

Zooming in that stops happening, so I guess it's something about hinting? image

Really minor overall, but it jumped out at me for some reason.

(OTF version 1.7.2, Windows 10)

Can you try the TTF version instead of OTF? It has hinting from ttfautohint which should solve this kind of problems.

Yup, looks like the TTF is more consistent here: image

Also in the latest release, the webfonts should include hinting from ttfautohint so they should look less funky than the first screenshots.
