Question How to adjust Link collision box size with Sprites in text?

Hey,

I have texts with Icons and I want to have tooltips when I hover these icons. But it seems that the collision box of links is bound to the text height of the font and ignores the height of my sprite icons.
Is there a way to manipulate the collision boxes somehow?

Image for reference:

 

You can sort of manipulate this by setting "Face Info" metrics for your sprite asset. So instead of using the metrics of the font asset, it will use those of the sprite asset. Below is an example of metrics that I set for the EmojiOne sprite asset.



The Point Size will affect the size of the sprites. The Ascend and Descent lines will increase the height of the region which is use by the link tag as seen below.



Let me know if that works for you.

 

Thanks @Stephan_B for the quick help.

I can confirm that this actually worked super nice.
