[Text]-Gotham fonts is creating problem on mac in XD.

I'm trying to use Gotham and every time I change the typeface it puts the first line of text outside the editing box and i can't see it or edit it. Not to mention it screws up all my measurements. It's impossible to work. I can't pick a different font either because this is client work and they use Gotham.

I don't know what to do. Sometimes if I swap between fonts fast enough it stays in there. but then I can't change the typeface subtype because I come up against the same issue.

I'm really new to XD but I can't seem to find any way to change the copy's baseline although it does seem to be a baseline issue.

I have also faced the same issue while using the “Gotham font” on my MacBook. It was so annoying when I couldn’t see anything while typing or editing something. After so many tries found the solution.

To resolve this issue, install the “OTF” format and re-edit all the text fonts in the file :).

I've never had any issues with any of the Gotham fonts myself. What's your OS and where did you get the Gotham font files from? Do you use a font management software?

I'm having the same issue too, with the text showing outside the bounding box.

This makes alignment very inacurate. I'm using DIN.

MacOS: Monterey v12.1
Adobe XD Version: 44.1.12

I can't update to the latest Adobe XD as that has caused serveral other problems like not being able to create a new file and fonts not syncing.

Hello, just wanted to leave an update, as I was having this same problem:

It was just with that particular version of Gotham that I was having an issue. My boss sent me another version, and once I installed that one, the fonts went back to normal. Of course that means I have to redo everything because the text is now appearing INSIDE the text box (as it should) instead of ON TOP of the text box (as the corrupt version of Gotham was doing). But I'd rather it be correct even if I have to fix it.

This exact thing is happening to me right now! I was asked to change all fonts to Gotham for a specific project, and the text sits above the text box. It screws up the placement of every single text box (which is a lot!). It's only Gotham. Did you ever figure out a solution?

I was able to get it to work once using this method... selecting the existing (non-Gotham) text and add a character style, and then right click the style to edit it. Change the font to Gotham. It seems to update correctly that way in a paragraph.

However there also seem to be some inconsistencies... and still can't seem to change all text at once but it might be because of my groups. This fix also only worked for me with paragaphs but I essentially just don't have time to play around with it.

Did you get to the bottom of this? I am having the same issue with Gotham in XD. Was fine one day and not the next. If I change the font to something other than gotham it goes back in line with the text box. I also use a mac.

Hi there,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble. Is it possible for you to share a short video capturing the problem for better understanding? Are you using the current version of XD (28.2)?

We will try our best to help.

Thanks,

Harshika
