Font position too high? #20

Hello,

I'm looking for a good font for technical drawings and love this font. However, when testing I noticed that the vertical alignment of the glyphs is very high compared to other fonts (see image).

This causes issues in tables where the upper area of the glyphs touches the table borders. The vertical alignment doesn't look centred and seems off? Is this deliberate by design or an issue to be improved?

Kind regards,

Wouter

tahoma_vs_osifont

I compared Tahoma and Osifont and baseline and height are identical. I don't know how to solve your problem. Maybe your software has list of fonts and some height and offset adjustment for few known fonts? This needs some TTF expert opinion.

Thank you for the superfast reply!

It's really weird, because my example image is a screenshot from MS Word 365. I would expect it to work there. I'll do some more reasearch myself as well, in hopes of finding the cause of the issue.

I just tested a bit and found that the issue seems to only occur with text in tables in MS Office applications (tested Word, OneNote), but not with normal text. In CAD program Creo it is displayed correctly. So the issue seems te be with MS Office. I'm really glad I can use it for CAD drawings!

Thank you for your support and kind regards!
