Jetbrainsmono: Misaligned Height

[rysktky]

Sometimes, the height of some Large letters and numbers are misaligned with some size.

• This does NOT seem to happen with NL version.
• This is NOT always reproducible. Even with the same settings, the problem only appears sometimes
• Noticed this when I was changing font seizes, including zoom in and out, changing from the application menu.
• Seems that NOT all editors/terminals are affected. (Seen on MS notepad and mintty for cygwin. Notepad++ or VSC seem to work OK)

Above shows some alphabets and 3 are lower.

with different size, now some large letters are taller.

This has gone very bad.

*Work around
Set it to another font and set it back to JetBrainsMono may(or may not) fix the alignment.

Could this be a hinting bug of JetBrainsMono or
a compatibility issue for some editors/terminals? (but not seen this with other fonts than JetBrainsMono)

Hi @rysktky . We had similar report https://github.com/JetBrains/JetBrainsMono/issues/40
What version of the font you using?

[rysktky]

@philippnurullin
Thank you for quick response!
I am using 1.0.5

I saw the same symptom with with NL version today when I was using it with MobaXtrem.

[philippnurullin]

@rysktky Ok, then. We will need the info so we can reproduce the problems.

1. Name end version of editors. It will be nice to have a screenshot for each case. Or you can just add the editor info to the screens you already took.
2. OS with basic version.

@philippnurullin , Here are some new pictures.

All taken with the same PC, Windows10 Enterprise 1803.
Previous screenshots were taken with the same PC with mintty 3.1.4 with Cygwin (latest version)

I cannot really reproduce this constantly, especially the one with lower 'R' which is the first screenshot of this thread.

Still don' t know what makes these differences.

[rysktky]

I just found that small letters are slightly misaligned sometimes as well.
(noticed this when typed 'vacuum')

Screenshots were taken with the same windows PC.

Not sure if it's related, but I've noticed misaligned [] for Fira Code in Windows Terminal and only in Windows Terminal...

[rysktky]

I agree with @mfocko . I haven't seen this with my Gnome desktop on my Fedora.

By the way, I just found Wireshark goes really messy almost always with the same Windows PC.
Hope this helps you, @philippnurullin .

Version 3.2.3 (v3.2.3-0-gf39b50865a13) ( Latest wire shark. Main window draws the same,,,)

I downgraded to v1.0.4 and the problem is gone now in windows terminal.
