Height of textframes wrong


Recommended Posts

Example: A textframe that had a height of minimum 4,854156 mm in v2.4.2 needs now a height of 4,854312 mm.

No joy with manuals containing hundreds of pages to correct the textframes one by one to get rid of the text overflow.

How could this help with already existing textframes with variable sizes at variable positions?

To me this is sloppy testing at Serif. A variance of height should be detected in internal testing. My fault. Next time I will test my work also in the betas. Lesson learned. 😌

Possibly, but not necessarily, as sometimes this happens because they fixed a bug you were depending on in some way. I know that has happened before.

Do you have any sample files you can share here that demonstrate this? That will probably help in recreating the issue or determining why it happened.

Document from v1 attached, since I already updated to 2.5.0. But the effect is the same.

This seems to be font related. With Arial, the textframe "needs" a 0,000001 mm lower height. With Milo OT you get an overflow and you need to give some extra height approx. the value I reported in my first post. Unfortunately I cannot upload the Milo OT here.

You could reduce the leading to have the larger font fit the textframe.
But perhaps grouping with a shape to make up for the textframe backgroundcolor would make it possible to have the same visual height but make the textframe itself larger to have no overflow, see attachment(v2.5)
But that may not help you right now with current document perhaps for a later project

Hi @joe_l,

Could you send a copy of the Milo OT font so I can correctly see what's happening on your sample doc and compare between 2.4.2 and 2.5.0? Upload link below.

Thanks

Uploaded. Thank you for your assistance.
