I know plenty of devs have brought up text leading options (and the lack there of) so I will again bring it up to the corona devs as I’m pretty fed up seeing effort wasted on stuff we don’t really need instead of on stuff we not only need but is essential to, at the very least, making our app’s text look halfway decent.
The advances in corona’s display.newText are just too slow, although now we are able to at least align mutli-line text boxes, but how on earth can you expect developers to even use it to some degree of visual credibility if you don’t provide us with the option to adjust leading? It’s obvious that multiline text boxes simply use an auto leading setting (i assume it takes the fontsize value and sets that as the leading). Then why is it so difficult for corona to simply add in the option for us to choose a different leading size? It should be a piece of cake adding this in, it’s not like asking for kerning which might be a pain due to the disparity in fonts.
Come on, decent looking text, especially if we want to use multiple languages, is essential for every app nowadays. Please focus more on what api improvements really need to be advanced out of the dark ages.
