Description
Problem description
I'm getting an unexpected difference in the default line-heights of only a few static instances of Recursive. (Not currently sure if this is the case in Recursive variable, but I'll check).
This is a regression of metrics that were fixed earlier. Details at:
#273
I believe this was impacted by the merging of mastering scripts, which follow the official Google Fonts metrics guidelines. Unfortunately, these guidelines are not very useful for a UI font.
UPDATE: nope; I just hadn't caught this specific problem earlier.
Expected behavior
Vertical metrics should match what is currently (or appear to be) in Recursive Mono Casual, not Recursive Mono Linear.
They should:
- Roughly matching metrics in IBM Plex and Apple SF.
- Make caps vertically centered within the default "box" of space in apps like Sketch, Keynote, and in web browsers. This helps buttons & UI elements to look good without fussy CSS nudges.
Environment (please complete the following information):
- OS: macOS 10.15.2
- Font: v1.036 (permalink)
Additional context
[Will try to fill in specific commits that affected this, if useful.]
