I have this vuetify code:
<div class="mb-6">
<h1 class="text-h4">
{{title}}
</h1>
<p class="subtitle-1 font-weight-thin" v-if="subtitle">{{subtitle}}</p>
</div>
Which produces a title and subtitle that are not aligned vertically, as visible there:
The left-space between the title M is wider that the subtitle one.
Any idea why? I reckon this is the first time I have such an issue, hence I believe this is a Vuetify typography issue.
I tried playing with the letter-spacing CSS property without success: it changes the space between the letters but not in front.
I also tried playing with margin-block-start CSS property, but it doesn't change anything.
Thanks for the help
It's not a vuetify or letter-spacing issue. This comes from font you are using. Vuetify uses Google’s Roboto font by default.
There's a playground at Google fonts with Roboto font. You may notice that the problem you mentioned is present here as well. By example, there's some space in Regular 400 #64px:
Let's test your code using a different font. By example, I'll use CSS font-family: serif !important; that fallbacks to Times New Roman at Windows platforms:
Looks fine, no spacings.
So one solution to fix your problem is to change the font. I believe that there are fonts that are more suitable for websites than Times and that do not have such a problem.
According to Vuetify docs, you can change a font for the whole project with one line in src/sass/variables.scss file. Keep in mind that this cause project to build much longer:
$body-font-family: 'Work Sans', serif;
Possibly you don't want to change a font. So you can change the whole string's position this way:
.text-h4::first-letter {
margin-left: -0.04em;
}
In this case, the unselected lines will align a little, but there will be problems with selection:
Maybe this SO question will also help you. And there's a playground at CodePen where you can test some solutions.

My horizontal nav bar and footer look perfect on PC, but when testing on Mac, the font is lifted about 30px above its position in the horizontal nav bar.
After trying every CSS reset and line-height adjustment, what finally worked on Mac made the font drop about 30px below its position in the horizontal nav bar on PC this time.
One Stackoverflow answer mentioned editing the glyph/baseline of a font.
I downloaded a free font editing program and noticed the characters inside of each respective square were lifted as if to have a 40px margin underneath, but I can't adjust the height of the baseline in the program.
Is there a free font manipulation program that will allow me to adjust the glyph/baseline of the font?
I appreciate your time in advance.
Try to generate your font via http://www.fontsquirrel.com/, and use the CSS for font-faces it gave you.
If the above does not work for you, try this:
Try to find out with JavaScript if the app is running on Mac. If so, load a new font-fix-mac.css file, where you will put margin-top:30px on all elements where the font is lifted above.
I got a project to fix image issues for a client and this one has bugged me for days now. The site is http://www.fonolive.com. Some of the small icons that display on the front page show white space below image.
I have tried the following on
img{
}
display:block;
vertical-align:bottom;
vertical-align:top;
vertical-align:middle;
vertical-align:sub;
font-size:0px;
display:inline;
line-height:0px;
and more.
The only thing that seems to work is if I set the image height to say 130%, but the problem is recurrent on several pages across the site and this is an absolute no no.
The other solution I have worked on is resizing the images in php or using javscript etc, but that only works if javascript is enabled and seems too complex of a solution.
Please, try it in firebug and let me know what is wrong. Thanx and appreciate every input
I often embed webfont (#font-face) in sites that I develop and I have never encountered a major problem until today.
In fact, I feel there is a big issue with the line-height, I'm not extremely good at English so I'll try to illustrate it with pictures. I already contact the support from fontshop.com (where the font was bought) but they do not seem to understand / solve the problem.
What we had before with standard desktop font (= rendering is good for us):
What we had with the font-face (no change in CSS stylesheet):
Here is the CSS:
#content h1 {
background:#000000;
color:#FFFFFF;
font-family:"DINPro-Bold","Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,sans-serif;
font-size:35px;
line-height:30px;
padding:10px;
text-transform:uppercase;
}
Usually font websites will have ways to configure the webfont package when you download it. I buy all my fonts from myfonts.com and under the advanced settings there are options for line-height adjustments. Try downloading the font using native line-height adjustments if this option is available. If not, try uploading the font to fontsquirrel's online font generator and upload the new version.
That's not the same font. The shape of the O and the curvature of the arm on the R give it away, which means the fallback fonts are being used, likely due to #font-face not loading properly. Different fonts will have different default spacing, as stated already, which would also lead you to believe it's a line-height issue.
Try making your fallback fonts something totally obvious, like:
font-family:"DINPro-Bold",serif;
This worked for me:
Generate the webfont at Font Squirrel. After uploading the fonts select 'Expert', scroll down and check the checkbox 'X-height Matching'. This resizes the height to match the x-height.
If you have problem with line-height of your webfont (especially if font suppose to be big in your project) try this: close your font in div or other block element and set "overflow" to "hidden". Div will have exact height of your font so any additional space will be cut off.
Try adding "position: relative; top: 5px;" to the "h1" tag
Try position: relative; paddint-top: 5px; padding-bottom: 0px;
Line height according to wikipedia
In typography, leading (rhymes with heading) refers to the amount of
added vertical spacing between lines of type.
This can be achieved like this...
.class{
line-height: 1em;
}
But if you are referring to the height of the letters then this is not something that can be adjusted. It is part of the font you have chosen to use.
I have quite large text (font size 28) I'm trying to align vertically in a fixed-height container.
I'm doing this by eye and just setting a margin-top so that it gets to the right spot. However, when in Firefox, I need a margin-top of 20px, in Safari I need like 15px (else it's too far down). I saw that the discrepancy was because in Safari the text element is taller than in Firefox and includes a slight amount of whitespace on top that doesn't show up in Firefox (in Firefox, the top of the text element is exactly when the text starts).
I've tried all kinda of display combinations with line-heights and perhaps adding a width/height for the text and whatnot. Nothing works.
What can I do to make this consistent? I'd hate to use JS but it seems like the only option...
For cross-browser CSS normalization I'd recommend a reset - YUI3 has a good one, Twitter Bootstrap is another good one. It basically sets paddings and margins to 0 so all browsers will behave and only adhere to YOUR css rules and not their own default rules.
For vertically aligning text to containers, if it's a single line of text, use the line-height property, and set it to equal the height of the container.
For example:
CSS:
div {
height:300px;
width: 400px;
line-height: 300px;
font-size:28px;
background-color:#F0F0F0;
}
HTML:
<div>
Some vertically centered text
</div>
Example: http://jsfiddle.net/Djvv7/
You need to apply a css reset. Good practice to use one on all projects. The most famous I know of is: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/
I'm running into a vertical positioning problem with a couple of elements on a page in Firefox 5. When I set a line-height on a piece of text, and give it an equal height, it doesn't center vertically the way it should. Instead it sticks to the top of its line-height.
The page in question is here: http://www.tyndale.ca/~missiodei/
Here are the two problem elements along with their CSS. In both cases the text is pushed up in FF5 but displays properly (vertically centered within its line-height) in Chrome/Chromium.
the large title link in the banner (#blogtitle a)
position:relative;
display:block;
margin:0;
padding:0;
color:#fff;
text-decoration:none;
letter-spacing:.1em;
font-family:"Palatino Linotype", Palatino, serif;
font-weight:bold;
opacity:0.6;
height:120px;
line-height:120px;
any of the drop-caps that float at the beginning of new sections of body text (p.openingPar:first-letter)
font-size:3em;
font-weight:bold;
position:relative;
float:left;
height:48px;
color:#ccc;
line-height:48px;
margin-right:4px;
You might not see these drop caps unless you look at the page using Chrome or Safari, since most of them aren't showing up at all in FF. (I'm not sure why these styles aren't being respected either).
Finally, it would be helpful to know whether this is a problem unique to FF5 or whether 3.6 and 4.0 have the same problem. I don't have any old versions of FF available for quick testing.
Thanks ahead of time for help. I've imprinted my keyboard on my forehead bashing my head over this one!
The vertical centering seems to work fine for me....
The lack of first letter styling is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8253
Try using <span class"dropcaps">W</span> instead of styling your opening first letter in the paragraph by selector :first-letter. Let us know if it works.
