| Summary | 0011903: Text frame overflow behaviour | ||||
| Description | I've noticed that with 1.5.0svn it is now possible to shrink the height of a text frame tight to the text without overflowing the frame. I think that an even better approach would be the following: 1) Overflow a text frame only when the base line of the last line of text is outside the frame. As a result, glyphs can then be partially outside the text frame at the bottom without overflowing the frame. 2) Glyphs can be partially outside the text frame at the top, depending on the 'First Line Offset' setting. 3) Add the option 'Cap Height' to the First Line Offset setting. 4) Allow for automatically shrinking the text frame. Please see the attached screenshot for such a shrinked text frame with the First Line Offset set to 'Cap Height'. This approach is what e.g. Indesign does and it has some significant advantages: a) It is then possible to align the cap height of the first line of text to the top of an object. b) It is then possible to align the base line of the last line of text to the bottom of an object. c) When drawing the outline of a text frame and the text frame is shrinked, the text appears vertically centred. | ||||
