The shearAdjustment is specific to each font and the best way to resolve this issue would be to expose more customizability for the synthetic Italic.
Initial Bug Case
How to reproduce:
1. Open the user’s attached project
2. Observe the Game view
Expected result: Symbols ‘ and . don’t have an offset
Actual result: Symbols ‘ and . do have an offset
Reproducible with: 3.0.6, 3.2.0-pre.3 (2020.3.37f1, 2021.3.8f1), 4.0.0-pre.1 (2022.1.12f1, 2022.2.0b3, 2023.1.0a4)
Reproduced on: macOS 12.4 (Intel)
Notes:
- Not reproducible with Legacy Text
- Reproducible with symbols: . (dot), ‘ (apostrophe), _ (underscore), ` (backtick)
- Changing “TMPro_UGUI_Private.cs“ script line “Vector3 shearAdjustment = new Vector3((topShear.x - bottomShear.x) / 2, 0, 0);” to “Vector3 shearAdjustment = new Vector3(0, 0, 0);“ solves the issue
