Font issues with Roboto and SF Pro Display

Hello, I have both Roboto font and SF Pro Display installed on my Mac. 

when I use them in XD everything seems fine, there is no 'missing font' message or anything like that. 

problem is the fonts look different than they are supposed to,

when other people on my team write the exact same sentence I write, it doesn't look the same, the letters look different, the spacing isn't the same etc...

I would love to get some help with that, thanks

Your teammates are working on mac or windows and where do they right the sentences? some screenshots would be helpful. And does the font size, leading, tracking and other font settings are the same as yours?

Hi there,

 

Sorry for the delay in response. I would like to follow up here if you are able to resolve the issue? If no, please try installing the SF Pro font on your machine and then check if it works fine.

Hi All,

 

We are sorry for the trouble. It looks like you're experiencing the similar issue mentioned here:  Solved: Roboto font from Google has different heights on M... - Adobe Support Community - 11734620  


If yes, then after a long investigation on this issue and trying all the aspects to fix it. The team identified that the font engines on the 2 platforms return different values for this font, which won't be fixed until we use the same engine on both platforms. There is something related to this going on in the backend, but until then, there is nothing that team can do to fix it.

We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks,
Harshika
