Extraction of font-sizes and line height is completely bugged.

Hello,

I have been using projectparfait / (now assets) since a very long time and I must say it changed my whole workflow regarding front end development. Being able to quickly look up the font-sizes and line height is/was for me one of the most valuable features. Now since a little while, all the font-sizes/line heights have a scaling factor applied to it which is more than annoying, it basicly make this tool useless to me, there are still features like the measuring tool which are great but  ultimately i have to open the files with photoshop which I try to avoid as much as I can.

It would be great if you guys could look into this.

Best regards Thomas

I also am having the same problem. I have a Times at 60px and extract says 38.19px with a  transform scale of 1.571

font-family: 'Times New Roman';

color: #003399;

font-size: 38.19px;

font-weight: 700;

line-height: 30.55px;

transform: scale(1.571,1.571);

makes me do more work than save me time

Hi,

I have never seen in any of my files to have the scaling factor applied to the font size.

Also the fonts always have /* Approximation due to font substitution */, even the most basic ones like Roboto.

In the link below  you say it is resolved but I still having the same issue in all my files.

strange behavior with the extract function on CC


thank you for your help

It indeed seems that the scaling factor is not applied to font-size and line-height. When I change the scaling factor (the "Designed at" selectbox), I can see how the width and height measurements change, but font and line sizes remain the same.

Hi Futureburo, sorry that you're having problems with Extract!

Just to check, have you changed the Preferred Font Unit or Base Font Size? That would change the measurements your getting in the CSS.

If not would you mind sending me the PSD you're having trouble with? You can get a link from the top right:

and either message me or post a reply here.

Yes I did but all i get is this which is no change. I used the same pdf for this test which perfectly worked before.
