My husband has his own business - he uses a Mac, and I use a PC. (We also have/will have other freelancers helping occasionally, so we need to find a long-term solution as well). We are creating eBooks for customers, and there is a slight but obvious issue with the spacing between the two platforms. (I've been reading about others having cross-platform spacing issues in the past, but it didn't quite fit this situation, and I'm hoping any possible Mac/PC spacing issues have somehow been resolved.) We are trying to use OpenType Roboto. On PC, if I design the layout and fit the frame to content and then package or send him the file, when he pulls it up on his mac there is extra space at the bottom of the content box. (That extra white line is not visible on my version. The box fits snug on PC, but extra space shown on Mac.) On Mac, if he designs the layout and fits frame to content, everything looks fine at first, but when I do ANY adjustment to the text box (even deleting a letter), the spacing in the box increases and we end up with overset text. The font itself stays the same size, but suddenly the text doesn't fit within the frame, and I have to re-fit it... causing the above issue (extraneous space when he re-receives the file). Image 1 shows how Day 1 and Day 2 look fine as long as I don't mess with them - and when I copy Day 1 and Day 2 and their content, and paste below - with no other edits, there is immediately overset text on the newly pasted parts. Image 2 shows how, when DELETING a letter from the main header (week 1) and sub header (day 2), and deleting the last letter "e" at the end of "Second Exercise" on day 2 ("Fourth Exercise" line disappears), the overset text warning appears in all places. Before all this, he originally was using Roboto TrueType (Mac) and I synced the Typekit substitution, which also gave these above errors... All these screenshots are after he has attempted to switch it to Roboto OpenType (which we hoped would be the solution), and we still are having the same issue. Also, there is a little "O" symbol that also advises "OpenType properties are not applicable," though I am not getting any errors for missing fonts - just overset fonts. We need to be able to work cross-platform. For consistency's sake (as he has done many other eBooks for this client), we'd strongly prefer to continue using Roboto if there is a workaround/fix for the spacing issue. Is there a solution? Am I doing something wrong/missing something obvious, or is this a continuing cross-platform issue? Paula
