I just tested the static and variable fonts in macOS 10.14 TextEdit. For the static instances, it presumably takes the hhea metrics, for the VF, it always takes typo metrics. (It also adds the line gap at the bottom, making text look weird, but maybe that's because the layout logic is broken.)
So that would speak in favor of always using either typo or win metrics for variable fonts, even for the default outlines? Or maybe this is really the fault of GTK/Pango/something because it loads the default outline instead of the default instance, which would yield the correct metrics? _______________________________________________ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
