[3841453] Layer FX: Text gets offset/clipped if there are layer fx added.

[joebowden]

Test file: http://adobe.ly/1nP7VtN

1. Open test file in PSD
2. Open layers in crema, or generate svg
3. Examine preview/svg files

Result: Text is offset or clipped when there are layer fx. Bevel & emboss doesn't render at all (for shapes, it renders without the fx).

The bevel & emboss was an encoding bug that I'm fixing - something is off between the text bounds and the way they relate to bounds with FX. we are relying on EM positioning for Y and it isn't holding up with effects or maybe we are just calculating the font-size wrong? @dirkschulze if you can see maybe fresh eyes will help.

• bevel & emboss is out of scope for now.
• The offset thing and text with pt should just be a problem if 1px !== 1pt. This is not the case in the PSD. * All text metrics are in PT and not EM. It is not even possible to change that in PS (just like in Ai).

I am currently sharing my screen at a conference. I try my best to look at some of the things during pauses.

Ok, we have the text property which has the bounds property. This usually is far too big. But for fx effects we don't seem to get the right boundaries otherwise. Therefore I suggest using this box.

Argh, I totally missed it. So, bonds are not correct for text layers in PS. I don't know why yet. However, that is the reason why we use other bounds. This usually works if you don't apply FX effects. If you have fx effects though, we do not use the computed text bounds but fall back to the fx bounds instead. Which are also wrong:

svgWriterProcessor.js

        if (omIn.boundsWithFX) {
            bndsIn = omIn.boundsWithFX;

        } else {

We probably need to check textBounds and fx bounds and either take the bigger area, or even better take the union of both.

I was able to figure out a bounds diffing scheme that seems to fix most of the cases we have... the ones that are not right are not too far off at least. I think there are bugs in the generator bounds, but I have not isolated them. Could be that we just need more info to know where the text is within the bounds they provide.

Setting this to "testing" so that Joe can have a look. Its not going to be fixed/closed but it might not be as high priority now.

[dirkschulze]

The bounds are most definitely wrong. If I have a font size of 48px the bounds can not be 30px height. We have to talk with Generator and PS about that.
