Description mishanandgov 2024-04-02 17:26:16 UTC
Description:
When a character that extends below the baseline becomes a drop cap, the bottom of it appears to be cut off in the editor (Occurs often with capital J in some fonts). Exporting to a format like PDF shows the drop cap rendering correctly, so it seems like it’s just a minor visual bug in the program.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Use a font with characters that go below the baseline
2.Begin a paragraph with one of the characters that go below the baseline
3.Format the paragraph to have a drop cap at the start

Actual Results:
The part of the character which extends below the baseline will not render.

Expected Results:
The entire character should be visible.


Reproducible: Always

No problem. The font name used in the screenshot is MTBaskervilleETW08-Roman
I believe the bug should be reproduceable with any font that contains characters that go below the baseline, though.
