Fix vertical spacing and height on Windows, Mac, Linux and in Java apps #48

Open glebd opened 9 years ago

Tweaked various heights, ascenders, descenders and line gaps to achieve a perfect vertical position of glyphs on Windows, OS X, Linux, including several notable apps like Java applications on Windows/Mac, Atom, Sublime Text, TextMate, Visual Studio, Xcode, Notepad++. In IntelliJ IDEA on Windows set line height to 0.9 for perfect results.

I'm not anything to do with this project but I bet attaching some screenshots addressing a couple of problems this fixes might help the project owner out assessing the merge.

Good point, I'll do that.

belluzj commented 9 years ago

Indeed, I would to like to see some screenshots. Especially under Windows/Java, with dashes and underscores, because these characters tend to disappear depending on their vertical position... Thanks in advance

I don't know if this was the same thing, but on my (Linux) system 11pt vertical placement and size is quite bad. See attached image. First line is 11pt. Second line is 12pt for comparison.

11vs12

[edit] Running the font through FontSquirrel's ttf generator (to get the non-loopy style set) with Auto-Adjust Vertical Metrics checked seems to fix it.

Is this issue still valid?
