Matching fonts in Figma ?
-
I am at my wits end to try and match fonts in Figma , In Figma I am using local fonts so its the same as in HISE project , but its seems to stretch in HISE , same baseline, same start , same height but ...longer ? Tweaking sizes to eyeball this and i can get it to fit end to end but then off in the middle, almost like i am not using the correct font.
Is this something I just have to live with as a Juce quirk or is there a solution?
I am testing inter (whole family) Montserrat (family ) Ariel (family.
For some reason Arial is behaving and almost identical, the other ones ar all too long , like i applied kerning but more like a stretch.Also trying some random font , same. Too long, stretched
Wondering if I should just call it, spent days on this. :)
Stretched font is not the correct font so its a problem, might be aknown problem to everyone but i am just encountering this.Black printed as glyph from figma , perfect match to ref oveerlay.
Red is paint routine font ( not label)

If i change its size it fits end to end but wrong in the middle

If i make a text label and set it to 16 (12 in figma) its better and different ?

I might just be losing my mind, quite possible.
Of course i could just print everything static as glyphs and have any font from figma and be done with it but I would rather solve this, although iI would probably settle for just understanding this better :)
Thoughts?

@lalalandsynth just a thought, have you tried and confirmed those issues with bigger font size? Might be a kerning rounding error for small values or something related. Just saying this out of my mind, I have no idea how fonts are working...

@ustk its worth trying the same test at 35,4 5 just to know although I would not exoect much of a difference, but yes, will try it.
