Yeah, it seems like a KDE issue. Sublime text shows my modified font correctly.

Might be worth an issue report on the Kate tracker.

Are you happy with the line spacing adjustments? It looks like it does render with expanded line spacing in your screenshot.

@Phantom-code Great to hear! Mind closing if this is addressed?

from font-line.

I'm still unsure if we can think about this issue that it's addressed, but I close it for now.

If you come across additional information feel free to reopen and post it!

It seems that QtCreator has the same issue.

mind trying with a couple of other fonts to see if you find the same problem? I don't know if this is the change or the way that we have the line spacing set that is leading to problems.

from font-line.

Sure, I'll try it tonight.

Any updates here?

Oh! I'm sorry, I thought my answer was sent. I modified the "LiberationMono" font and it looks as it should in QtCreator:

Thank you! I will see if I can find any documentation on the renderer used in QtCreator. @jorgheymans is currently working on a command line tool to emulate text editor renders with the Java rendering approach and we have plans to do this across more renderer types so that we can move this testing out of the editors. Will see if this editor's renderer is amenable to this approach.
