Emojis have no margins next to text on mac

[Cito]

I don’t know what “bid” you mean.

I asked WhiteNoise, since he was marked as moderator and the last one who replied, but he probably overlooked my message. Are there other options to request re-opening a thread?

@rigmarole

Well, I see no space, like you said. I don’t see any overlapping problem like in the original bug report.

Yes, you’re right. The original bug report actually showed a negative margin. I thought it was the same problem, but actually it seems to be a different one, since I can’t reproduce such a negative margin, although I tried using the same “office building” emoji and different fonts and resolutions. The only issue I see is that there is no or a very small margin, contrary to Windows.

For the record, in Things and Notion, I also have to put a space in MacOS, because the emoji is right up against the text.

That also hints to a generally different behavior of Chrome on Windows and MacOs, not something that could easily be fixed in Obsidian.

Here are some links that discuss the issue in Chrome:

• Emoji rendered in Chrome have different widths than in other browsers
• Issue 1083965: Regression: Emoji spacing too narrow in Mac OS 10.15 layout tests
• Issue 596223: M49 Regression: Emoji layout width too small (or character too large) on non-2x

What is a bit confusing is that some people report that they are seing it only on non-retina-displays, while others say it appears only on retina displays. In my case I do have a retina display, and I see the “zero margin” effect.

The StackOverflow article also mentions some workarounds that could be used in Obsidian to fix the problem until there is a proper fix in Chrome.
