Line-Height problem in Noto Nastaliq #198

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Pls see the attached snapshots from my website.
one: applying Noto Nastaliq Font
2nd: applying Jameel Noori Nastaleeq Font

Please see the difference in line-height.
Font-size = 18px
Line-Height = 1.6em

I believe this should be fixed at the level of website's CSS. Noto Nastaliq 
demands a more generous line-height than Jameel Noori Nastaleeq.

Sorry. we dont beleive it has to be fixed at website's CSS level. Almost every 
urdu blogger or urdu website owner uses 3 desktop unicode nastaliq fonts in its 
body font-family i.e. Alvi, Jameel & Taj. and these three have same line-height 
and size.
The problem occurs if we include Noto after these 3 and if a user's system 
doesnt include the above said three unicode nastaliq fonts. So the content will 
b shown to him/her in a much bigger font-size with lesser line-height.

@taemeer, are you suggesting that we reduced the glyph size in Noto Nastaliq to 
be compatible with your CSS/existing Nastaliq font? 

What harm would it be done if you increase the line-height (to, say, 1.9em or 2 
em) ? Even if one of three Nastaliq fonts requiring less line-height is used, 
giving more interline-spacing wouldn't hurt a lot. I'd rather claim that it'd 
increase the readability even for those fonts.

Thanks for the report.  We will check other Nastaliq fonts and adjust the font 
height appropriately.

Do you think the glyph sizes of the font are appropriate and only line spacing 
needs changing?

What you are seeing is a CSS issue.  Read:

  https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/line-height

You can fix this by writing:

  font-size: 18px 1.6;

Or try removing the "em" from line-height.
