Polygonius Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I often have to create "animated" text-stripes. (For GUIs - depending on button-state/ current move... there must appear different text-content). With"frame-text" and the simple return and enough space between the lines, i got all my "rames correct "sized". But: Even in most font-famillys and just big letters - not all members have the same size/highness. A "Q" has a low-hook , ÄÖÜ has high dots and backslashes and other "glyphes" explode the line totally... Try 1: I make the line-space greater. Well, that sems to solve the prob, BUT Problem 2: If i create enough "headroom" i lost my "center". But even if this TOP-magnetic is correct, i got the next problem: Problem 3: I have stripes in other font-sizes. If i create them as above, i got stripes "referenced" on the top. Thats not like people symmetry "read" IF I USE DIFFERENT Sizes here you will see, all have the same Base-line, not the same top-line, even if i use a Q or a ÄÖÜ Well, the example is chaotic, but it follows a line. Thats what i want: A used "grid" on the baseline with enough space for Q/ÄÖ... The frame-text itself does it! But the selction in AP will misstake the non-font-metric and the interpolation "pixels (no "T" has just line on the top, its smoothed/interpolated even in a transparent background). So, what i need is a slice-behavior which all this keeps in mind. Aha, its a frame text with such line-difference... i do not slice at the Stripe of the T and not of the last "full-pixel"... ????????????????????? How can i get the slice tool to this behavior, or how can i grid? The normal grid does not solve the Problem, the text will snap - the slice-tool will start inside the grid... BTW: MAybe if i could to set the slice to this layer, but not snapping the layer, instead snapping the grid BEHIDN the layer... i guess thats what i need! (Except the last "frame" has a Q hook... No, the whole text must inside a virtuell grid, which has allways the same-offseted base line... Quote OSX 12.5 / iMac Retina 27" / Radeon Pro 580X / Metall: on! --- WWG1WGA WW!

Staff Leigh Posted November 21, 2017 Staff Share Posted November 21, 2017 I've read this a few times and I'm not to sure what you're trying to do, sorry. Perhaps someone else can explain or if you could include some screenshots or examples that would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
