Hi Epic,
since 4.16 every text is cut off from above, no matter what i try (padding, margin).
Font? Screenshot?
Hey Jamie,
with 4.16 i also switched to vs17 just for your info.
This is the construct code of my main menu:

{
MTHUD = InArgs._MTHUD;
UIScale.Bind(this, &SMTMainWidget::GetUIScale);

In 4.15 everything was as expected, but with the switch to 4.16 the texts were offset.
(I’m just learning slate, so i will appreciate any critics)
Result:
I have no experience with style so far, so i’m getting FSlateFontInfo warnings as expected, if that is, what you mean with “Font?”. 
thx
[I only was able to post it as answer, because for comments i had -3xxx characters left]
Ah, I see your issue.
FSlateFontInfo("Arial", 96)
That is not the correct way to specify a font for Slate. It needs a path to a TTF or OTF file, not just the name of your system font, eg)
FSlateFontInfo(FPaths::GameContentDir() / TEXT("Fonts/MyFont.ttf"), 96)
As it stands you’ve been relying on our fallback fonts, and I did recently fix a bug where the fallback fonts would report a height of 0 which caused the issue you’re seeing.
Somehow i knew it would be this, but i can’t verify it at the moment.
In my attempt to transition to 4.16 i’ve encountered some problems, but i will let you know, when i can test it.
thx
