Fonts Appear High

[JoolCaat]

Some of the recently added fonts appear higher than they should.
This happens both in studio and in the Roblox client.
It started happening when the new fonts were added, around October 20.

This picture shows the TextYAlignment set to Bottom, even though the text appears it is alligned to the top.

To reproduce: Create a label and set the font to LuckiestGuy. You will notice it looks higher than it should. It is easiest to see it when you have TextScaled set to true. This will happen 100% of the time.

I’ve reported a similar issue before, it turns out it isn’t a bug and actually how it’s sized and positioned. LuckiestGuy and SpecialElite have this due to the font size, so not likely they’ll be centered in the future.

This is a result of the way fonts are sized and positioned. [image] Both of these fonts have a very tight ascender, which causes them to appear close to the top of the label. The reason it appears offset is because the descender makes room for letters that drop down such as y, g, p etc. The important aspect of the way this works is that text should never overflow a text label which has TextSize set to the same height as the height of the label.
