LabelLayoutModifier which adjusts Android text placement to match Figma text placement

@CanYumusak I was wondering if updating to latest compose with font padding disabled helped you?
I updated to compose 1.5.1 and disabled font padding but I'm still not matching figma specs.
My text style:

        platformStyle = PlatformTextStyle(
            includeFontPadding = false,
        ),
        lineHeightStyle = LineHeightStyle(
            alignment = LineHeightStyle.Alignment.Center,
            trim = LineHeightStyle.Trim.None,
        ),

I have tried different combinations of LineHeightStyle.Alignment and LineHeightStyle.Trim but it's off by a couple of pixels

Heyhey,

an important detail with that change is to set the line-height to the correct value specified in Figma. The intrinsic calculation of the LineHeight does not render the same value that Figma gets at.
So please make sure to set the same height.

PS: It also seems like your letterspacing is off

Our font has a default line height which is 1.2 times the font size. For example, if the font size is 24px, the default line height would be 28.8px. According to the Figma design, the designer requires a consistent line height of 24px matching the font size of 24px.

In Compose/Android, it's feasible to increase the line height from the default font specification but not reduce it.

Any idea how to achieve this?

Reducing should be just as possible as reducing it. I would highly recommend to not use lineheight equal to the font size though, this is a common design mistake that does not take into account ascending and descending glyphs in the font.

You can read up on the space that fonts take up here: https://dev.to/canyudev/android-and-figma-typography-and-how-to-achieve-100-fidelity-l40

(ignore the calculations, these are pre-Compose-change)

Thanks. You mean, Reducing should be just as possible as increasing it?

Sorry for not getting back to you: Yes, that's aboslutely what i meant.
