Cards titles look different when published

Here is what is happening. I have created my layout and cards using custom fonts. The problem is I get them to look the way I want them in the layout template, but when I publish the App for test viewing the leading is different on the iPad. And even more the Android looks different than both the iPad and Layout Template. Here are some screen grabs to explain:

Here is what they look like in the layout template.

And here is what the iPad ends up looking like. Just to be clear. The icons and "ambitconnection" are built into the card image.

It seems like since my layout template is set to iPad that it should look exactly like that when I publish to the iPad. Any thoughts on why this is happening?

Hi, ambitappa77373764‌, Keith,

As Nathan pointed out, there are a few OS - differences that lead to differences in how text is rendered. This is especially true for leading values smaller than 1.1.

The only current work-around is to use leading values of 1.1 or larger and adjust your font metrics in a glyph editor to create the tighter leading for you fonts.

Funny, we've been struggling this week with exactly the same issue. I've identified a repeatable bug:

If you use a leading value of 1.0 or less for the text on a card, the text will display as expected on Android devices and in the Layout Template view. But the leading appears really large on iOS devices. If you use a leading value of 1.1 or larger, then the text display matches across iOS, Android, and the Layout Template.

We encountered this bug because, like you, we have large icons with small type below them, so we were messing with leading values less than 1.0 to try to get the lines of type close together.

‌thanks for the response. Did you end up getting any answers? We've tried every leading value and still are having trouble with it matching across iOS, android and layout template. It becomes worse when adding more than one text field.

For us, the text display matches across iOS, Android, and the layout template with multiple text fields as long as we use a leading value of 1.1 or larger for each text field.

Thanks Keith. That at least tells me it is possible. For a reason we can't figure out we can't get a consistent look across all platforms no matter what we do with leading, padding, margins. It's really not even close. But now I've at least got confirmation it's not acting the way it's supposed to. Is there a place where I can walk through the problem with someone at Adobe?

I passed this on to some colleagues to take a look. They may reach out to dive deeper. There may be some OS-level differences in text compositions, or possible a bug.

Thanks,

Hi I'm having the exact same issue. So nearly4 months later we are still facing the prob.

My template Layout does not look similar on my Ipad devices especially on the fonts. SO I'm kind of blind when I do my design on AEM.

Help would be appreciated
