@krzyzanowskim found something similar when trying to match web and native text components. normalize.css sets lineHeight to 1.15.

So for display in our React Native app with custom fonts I had to set the lineHeight to the fontSize * 1.15 in order for the experiences to match.

@krzyzanowskim I'm really intrigued by this but my understanding of font science is so limited. Where did you find these comments?

@krzyzanowskim Wow that's interesting! It's always a bit shocking when you peek behind the wizard's curtain at what you find.
