Font styling broke in latest update

[appsforartists]

Today, my font size and padding unexpectedly:

I also notice that an update was pushed yesterday. I suspect the upgrade may have broken the styling.

Looks like there were many changes last night. I followed the steps in the README, and using these values in UI: Customize Theme fixes it:

// Documentation at https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/themes.html
{
  "variables": {
    "font_face": "Lucida Grande",
    "font_size": 12,
  },
  "rules": [
  ]
}

Which ST build are you using?

Hm, this issue is odd because the theme uses "system" by default, which is the same as the Default and Adaptive themes use.

You wouldn't happen do have some override of the theme lying around? What does sublime.find_resources("Spacegray.sublime-theme"); sublime.find_resources("Spacegray Oceanic.sublime-theme"); in the console yield? Doesthe issue go away after an ST restart, i.e. without your font_face variable modification?

[appsforartists]

>>> sublime.find_resources("Spacegray.sublime-theme"); sublime.find_resources("Spacegray Oceanic.sublime-theme");
['Packages/Theme - Spacegray/Spacegray.sublime-theme']
['Packages/Theme - Spacegray/Spacegray Oceanic.sublime-theme', 'Packages/User/Spacegray Oceanic.sublime-theme']

and it reproduces on restart until I add that customization.

Ah, I think this is moreso related to the font_size setting rather than font_face, since the Default theme uses 12 pt for that while Spacegray now uses 1.2rem, which seems about accurate in relation to your editor font size (after eyeballing it).

When I went to the linked URL, I noticed that the documentation says font.face and this is using font_face. Is that deviation intentional? I can foresee it being a source of confusion.

Just adding (clarifying) that the 2.0.0 update produced an unexpected (and unwanted) change in the font size of the user interface. With the global font size now set to 1.2rem in the theme file, the font size of eg. tab labels appears to be 1.2x whatever I have set for the editor font size in my user preferences. I think this is the opposite of the general design principles applied to ST – or at least the core themes, where user interface labels are generally smaller than the editor font size. See comparison screenshot. I've added "font_size": "0.85rem", to my theme customisation file now, but just putting this here to question whether it should be the default.

I noticed that the documentation says font.face and this is using font_face.

font.face is the theme rule attribute.

font_face is a variable defined by Spacegray theme in variables section, to enable global font customization of all UI elemets.

Relative font size support had been added to ST to exactly enable "auto-adjusting" UI font sizes according to user preferences.

It however seems ST treats theme font sizes and editor font sizes different on each platform.

Latest theme changes were developed on Windows on which UI fonts always appear too small compared to the editor when setting both to same size (e.g. 12pt).

Here is how it looks on Windows.

• theme font size: 12pt
• editor font size: 10pt

This seems not the case on MacOS at least.
