If you're adjusting the line height independently of the font size, won't that mean that lines get run together at some font sizes, or maybe even at unusual dot pitches (such as are found in embedded devices)? Also there's the opposite possibility of lines being spaced ridiculously far apart. Either possibility would break edje's claim to making it easy to adapt nicely to different screen resolutions. I'm not sure I understand Thomas' issue right, but if I do then it sounds like a bug to me. If you are packing a multi-line text block into a larger container, then expected behavior for a valign value corresponding to "center" would be to align the vertical center of the text block with the vertical center of the container. An exception might be if the valign of the text widget is specifically meant to apply to the first line only, in which case I would question it's usefulness. Without knowing anything of the edje code, (or Thomas') all I can suggest as a possible "gotcha" is that the total line-height of a font does not correspond to it's size in points or pixels. It is the font's size plus the line spacing, leading to use the proper term, and fonts always have some built-in leading. It's a simple error, but could possibly have been made in the edje code for vertical-aligning blocks of text. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
