Vertical text alignment in Windows 10

[alshdavid]

I have tried;

• Linux Fedora KDE
• MacOS
• Windows 10

Because these are the devices / installs I am using.

On Windows 10, vertical text alignment is off.

AI tells me the system font is unbalanced and there is nothing I can do to fix that. Is that true?

I wouldn't assume the Windows system font makes this unfixable. Vertical alignment should normally come from the font metrics used by the text layout, not the visible glyph bounding box. I'd compare computed line height, ascent and descent for the exact font selected on Windows versus the other platforms; centering glyph bounds instead of the line box could explain this.

My solution was to change to the Arial font when building for Windows targets. Apparently Segoe UI has additional blank pixels above the text, making it inherently bottom heavy

Not sure if that remains the case for Windows 11
