tobireif has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == Consistent vertical positioning of large and medium-sized text across OSs == The large text on the page https://tobireif.com/non_site_stuff/test_case_for_font_position_report/ gets positioned differently eg in Chrome on Mac vs in Chrome on Windows: The space above the large text is 102px in Chrome on Mac vs 125px in Chrome on Windows. The space below the large text is 75px in Chrome on Mac vs 52px in Chrome on Windows. The large-text positioning / the space above and below the large text should be the same in Chrome across OSs, for this font and for all fonts where the effective position currently is different across OSs. Also see eg https://app.crossbrowsertesting.com/public/ib8393c20a124bac/livetests/10424300/snapshots/zfa955e684685aa97890 vs https://app.crossbrowsertesting.com/public/ib8393c20a124bac/livetests/10424303/snapshots/z7586faac855fc19fb22 I know that there are (probably many) other pages/sites/layouts where medium/large text and its position is important. When a font does not have platform-specific metrics the browser should ensure the same vertical position across OSs. When a font does have platform-specific metrics I need a way to override (eg using CSS) the relevant aspects in order to ensure the same vertical position across OSs. Please prepend eg "[css-inline-4]" to the ticket title if appropriate.
