Text as high as the text box

[TWEI]

Hi guys,

 

I'm new to Affinity Photo and I'm wondering how can I make the letter in the text box as high as the background? Like make red background frame as high as the letters themselves instead of taller (the white line I draw) than those letters.

 

Thanks

Using the  Artistic Text Tool one can stretch the text using the handles

Remember that a space for a glyph (single character) needs to contain more than just the character, e.g. an A might need space for an accent above, Á or below ç. Even a letter p has a part that goes down compared to a capital P p. 

 

A text box has to allow for this. That means you can never fill it completely.

 

Better to make a frame for the text (or just use artistic text) and then place a shape behind it with the coloured background.
