03/02/2021, 7:24 PM@Siyamed do you have the link to the ticket? It kinda screws up the UI with fonts that have huge prebuilt padding

03/02/2021, 8:22 PMMaybe offtopic, but do you guys know if there is a tool to strip the font padding from .ttf files? As a workaround

03/02/2021, 8:43 PMThe priority of that ine specifically might change since i heard about it a lot in the last few weeks

03/02/2021, 8:44 PMHaving said that even though i wish we finished all few hundred tickets today, there is the reality :)

03/02/2021, 10:12 PMOoh. I think like almost a year ago I mentioned that there's like 5 things I really hate about android dev, and font padding and centering font inside a circular view, stuff like that is REALLY easy for a designer seemingly to get right, but it was always so hard with the view system. Big ⭐ to whatever ticket encompasses that sort of thing. 😄

03/02/2021, 10:14 PM:) as far as i understand you dont like exposing font padding and making things more complicated?

03/02/2021, 10:16 PMI don't even know anymore. I know text is INSANELY difficult, but the designs I get from designers always has everything spaced so nicely with text. And then I try to built it in android view land and everything is slightly off.

03/02/2021, 10:17 PM:) you are right. Actually that is one of the areas we want to improve (from design to runtime) for typography. The work we have done is that sentence only: 'we want' :) but still.

03/03/2021, 1:20 AMfwiw, the android team tends to use P4 as a default priority for issues that means, "untriaged," not as, "this can wait until after the heat death of the universe" 🙂

03/03/2021, 1:53 AMYes please don’t read too much into priorities (they have very specific meanings for us and don’t mean that much without knowing about all the other bugs filed and how we triage/process them anyway 🙂
