Preview vs WOFF test
Posted: Mon Sep 25, 2017 3:57 pm
Okay, I don't know if I'm hallucinating here or what, but I swear that sometimes when I look at my font in the preview window (within FC) things will look fine, but then when I do a WOFF test things don't -- and I don't know which one to trust, or if it's just my own eyes that I shouldn't trust.
Here's a simple test sentence with my font, in the preview window...
...and here it is in the WOFF test (middle sentence)...
The word that really stuck out to me was "dropping." For one thing, I have a feeling my "o" might be just slightly too big (or something), but more than that is the double-"p" (i.e. the "pp" ligature). Is it just me, or does it look like it's rendering ever-so-slightly higher up in the WOFF test than it does in the preview window? They should come out exactly the same, shouldn't they?
Or am I seeing things?
(PS. Oh, crap, I think my "w" is too big, as you see in "few" in both versions -- I'll have to take a look at that, too.)
