Custom fonts have a weird height #10769
Description
Issue Description
When importing a custom font using "fonts" directory and using it, we get an over-height rendered text or icon on Android.
Edit: If it helps, setting nativeElement.nativeViewProtected.setIncludeFontPadding(false); fixes the problem for a specific Label.
Reproduction
- Initialize a new project
- Put a custom font in
src/fontsdirectory - Add a class which refers to the font:
.custom-font { font-family: "my-custom-font"; font-weight: 400; } - Assign the class to a Label.
- Run the project and see the over-height text.
