Fonts is not vertically centered

[indaviande]

I've noticed that all buttons are misaligned because the font itself is not vertically centered. If I switch to another font, the issue disappear.

You can better see it on Firefox.

Hello @indaviande, thanks for the report. I understand the problem, and we usually set the fonts so they are centered, but in that case, the font is already online and served by a lot of websites. So we can't modify the vertical metrics because it would break a lot of websites layouts.

We are actually open for correcting the vertical metrics so that future users like indaviande can have it work out of the box. I also learnt that present users who are active tend to be able to fix this easily, while inactive users such as ones who used Google Fonts in Figma won't be impacted because Figma cached the layouts. What that works @emmamarichal ?

Yes I understand, but the font is served almost 10million time and featured on 19000 websites. I would not take the risk to change anything here, even if it's for a better result. It's the inconvenient of fonts served on an API, we can't make any big change without consequences, the rest of my team will not validate this too, I'm very sorry.
