Character spacing for font styles? #367

Closed elioqoshi closed 1 year ago

elioqoshi commented 1 year ago

I wondered why many of the font styles do have character spacing. With the new variable font, that makes fonts look less readable. I.e here is body medium text with 0.4pt character spacing (the radio button description)

Would we be able to try removing the character spacing tweaks and compare the results?

The text theme was a "foreign" contribution a long time ago. For some reason I never touched it since then really :smile_cat:

Sure I can make it next week or JP if he is faster

I think we need to get rid of character spacing. Material M3 has that because it's tailored for Roboto. It doesn't look good with Ubuntu.
