Is it me or is font rendering in flux just now too?

I know there was the odd half a pixel thing on non standard fonts with odd sizes in the past but the Helvetica family is common and this discrepancy is a bit much.

Don’t want to ticket it just yet as I know the team are hell for leather on WFF compatibility but at times it seems (OK, small, 1 week back test base), that the non WFF rendering is having, erm, Issues.
Just wondering if others have noticed a shift during upheaval or it is just me and a new font.

I’ve not seen rendering of size and positions of a common font family (though not this particular one so also not fair representation)

There was an update to Creator pushed out yesterday around 9am PT that should have fixed most font issues. If you’re still seeing this problem, please send the team a ticket with a link to that watch face:

It’s absolutely wonderful that we get such info from Facer- it really is! It gives a sense that something is happening and that gives users confidence that if we are patient all will be well in the end.
It seems that afterall tickets are the way to go - oh well.

I have a tiny quibble though and it is something i have raised with every major American company I have ever worked for (and that’s quite a few): Although Facer is based in the states could you please add UTC time for us non-Americans
ie 9AM PT (16:00 UTC) - you do have an international audience afterall :slight_smile:

The Universal bit being the crucial thing there. Every timezo0ne, including US is an offset of this so should be the defacto time given in any international context.

Thanks so much for sharing this idea with us!

We’ve discussed this request internally, and the team would really appreciate it if you could open a support ticket about adding UTC time to the app. That helps us properly track your request and continue the internal conversation about exploring this feature further.

Feel free to reply here with that ticket number once you have one!
