<p dir="auto">I develop on a Mac and when I finally saw the plugin in Windows, I was horrified at the text rendering! <img src="https://forum.hise.audio/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f602.png?v=fba14f4754a" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--joy" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":joy:" alt="😂" /></p>
<p dir="auto">Leaving the awful 1x rendering issues aside, the font metrics were off by much more than I'd like.</p>
<p dir="auto">Since all my font sizes are defined in a <code>Typography</code> namespace, I added a platform-specific scaling function to resize the fonts - interestingly scaling two fonts in <strong>opposite</strong> directions. <img src="https://forum.hise.audio/assets/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f914.png?v=fba14f4754a" class="not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji--thinking_face" style="height:23px;width:auto;vertical-align:middle" title=":thinking_face:" alt="🤔" /></p>
<p dir="auto">Is there a more elegant/robust way to handle this? Are my fonts the problem here?</p>

<p dir="auto">That's what I do.</p>
<p dir="auto">I also use Google fonts when I can because they tend to have fewer issues.</p>
