![]() Look at this simple HTML code, a tag containing 3, each with a different font-family: We know that unitless line-height is font-size relative, but the problem is that font-size: 100px behaves differently across font-families, so is line-height always the same or different? Is it really between 1 and 1.2? And vertical-align, what are its implications regarding line-height?ĭeep dive into a not-so-simple CSS mechanism… Let’s talk about font-size first OK, but what normal is? We often read that it is (or should be) 1, or maybe 1.2, even the CSS spec is unclear on that point. They really are complex, maybe the hardest ones, as they have a major role in the creation of one of the less-known feature of CSS: inline formatting context.įor example, line-height can be set as a length or a unitless value 1, but the default is normal. So simple that most of us are convinced to fully understand how they work and how to use them. In the case of Gimp, I have now and then used 'weird chacters' for effect-had to shuffle to the right font to escape the sans-serif default.Line-height and vertical-align are simple CSS properties. in some cases, an application can silently populate missing slots with some default font, even if not present in the font actually in use-just as it can in html, provided some font with the required characters is present on the system: for instance, arabic or asiatic glyphs. the character is clearly out of tune with the rest-compare, for instance, with EB Garamond or Times New Roman, which do include IPA extensions It can easily checked, for instance, at Dafont, which will show the full charmap (maybe on demand?) Present unicode groups: Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Latin Extended-A, Latin Extended-B, Spacing Modifier Letters, Combining Diacritical Marks, General Punctuation, Currency Symbols, Mathematical Operators. Here is a screenshot of my charmap for the font (in Nexus Font, not beeing installed, I cannot use windows charmap) It is in the phonetic code page (0293) 'small letter ezh with curl'. That charachter is correct, as far as the Sorts Mills Goudy font goes.

Thanks again for your very kind and useful trouble. Maybe the question is chiefly academic, as the workaround is to to select the guilty character and choose a likely font for it, but I am still curious. However, my experience with Old Letterpress hints that Gimp would simply cicle through all fonts in alphabetical order until it comes to one showing the missing character. I took it for granted that, in such a situation, Gimp would default to 'Standard' (in windows, it looks like Segoe or some other ugly sans font), as it does when one opens with text tool a layer in some font one has removed. Too many of the fonts I deal with-for covers of books between 18, I would choose first editions HC when available and decent-looking-are like those last two, lacking most of unicode, and very often with hardly any punctuation. However, your kind explanation rather enhances one part of my concern: WHERE does Gimp fish for the characters lacking in a font, and is there any way to direct it to a particular font?

Please: is there a way to prevent Gimp from loading those fonts (or bitmap fonts in general-I don't use them)? Or, if the trouble isn't actually related with bitmap. However, they are back now-both in win7 and win10)-and so is the trouble. , it shows in menu as Old Street Signs: 8514fix.fon and 8514Oem.fon weren't on Gimp font menu and I was able to insert and edit the text without trouble (I have the.
