Question

Cambria font, issues with line height on website

We are having some issues with line-heights regarding Cambria.

 

Even if I manually set the line-height I want and the text is displayed correctly, when you select the text or try to hover it you'll notice issues with the line-height being larger than it is supposed to be.

 

Try selecting the text (tested in Chrome, Edge and Firefox on PC) and you'll see what I mean. 

 

Also try to hover the links. Since the browser thinks the line-height is much larger, the area that "triggers" the hover effect is incorrect and you can't access some of the links because of overlap.

 

Here is a simple test page I made:https://devlab.ericj.se/me/_temp/font_test.html

    Hi ​@nichart-dk,

     

    Thanks for reaching out! Are you experiencing the same issue with the same Adobe Font? Also,  which browser are you using?

     

    Best,

    Isn’t Cambria a system typeface for the Windows operating system? I don’t think the typeface is related to Adobe (I’m pretty sure Monotype was involved in its development).
