Customize ascent-override and descent-override for webfonts
-
Jakub Škorpík commented
Customizing ascent-override would solve all the issues with messed-up fonts rendered differently on different OS, such as Fieldwork, where there is a different baseline on Mac and Windows, and on Windows vertical alignment is not working properly. Please, implement this feature. Thanks.
Demo: https://www.flatio.com/adobe-font-issue.html - on Windows you will see Fieldwork fonts a little bit higher than others, on Mac it'll be fine.

Please include the ability to customize the ascent-override, descent-override, and
line-gap-override properties within the @font-face declaration. I'm currently working with Effra Variable font, and in Figma, it looks great, but in the browser, the line-height is very uneven -- significantly more space below letters than above. Trying to offset the effects on a case-by-case basis is untenable, especially when the fonts behave so differently in the browser vs in design software. We need to be able to adjust the ascent-override property, but because we're using typekit, we cannot.
