Need the ability to adjust space between line (text).

Was it helpful?

27 replies

Miro’s preset line spacing is too close when creating numbered and bulleted lists in one block of text. It forces those of us who are sensitive to how the eye reads type to do elaborate work-arounds for better visual spacing. It would be great to have the ability, as in any word processor or design tool, to adjust spacing between lines.


Agree, when I’m creating artefacts to share in pdf, Miro’s big let down is line spacing, including paragraph spacing.

This. Don’t understand why it isn’t already included, it seems pretty basic 😬 I struggle to read any text that I’ve created in Miro and I really feel for anyone who is dyslexic..


It makes sense to use Miro as a presentation tool as well as a collaboration tool. This is a huge opportunity for Miro. You would need to give simple typographic controls to make this viable. It is so painful to put really badly formatted typography in front of clients. This is work but it might pay off if Miro wants to compete with the Adobes and Googles in this shared document space. Cheers.

We need this! At the moment the bullet lists look awful… ðŸ˜‘


Yes, this is a basic accessibility need. Does Miro ever respond to these idea threads?


Just found this thread, we need the option to adjust line spacing to create more effective presentations.

Agreed! The line height on many of the default fonts is too big and takes up more space than necessary, but then the spacing between bullets is too small. Control over both line height and space between bullets / paragraphs would be great

Miro team, 

3 years from now on, the text element still don’t have basic feature to align text line spacing. It’s a shame.

Sorry

This is a must have for some fonts and a basic request that is missing in Miro. I am glad they added custom fonts functionalities. 


Please add this basic functionality. Our eyes could grasp the content so much faster.

Especially if you add the Poppins font which looks really bad with 1.0 line height. 


Having this feature, would go on the way to being able to use Miro to present instead of slides.

The current line spacing, particularly in lists makes things really hare to layout and read clearly.

 

This is talked about in web accessibility standards too  https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/text-spacing


Guys, I can’t believe such basic feature’s request is here 3 years. Come on! 


My coworkers use Miro, and I just had to look at a chart with a lot of text and it was absolutely atrocious experience. I could not focus at all on reading because my eyes were throbbing


We need this!

Would be a big win, and actually any other basic text formatting would be a win too.

Wow, 3 years of people asking for basic functionality and they still won’t build it? Seems to be par for the course on this app.


Another vote in support of this. When creating a workflow for a client, the spacing is making it tough to fit everything in a reasonable space and makes it look way less professional. I’ve already got it all written out but still considering redoing it in another program because of the lack of line spacing.


My team needs this feature. I’m fascinated that this has not been addressed—it feels like table stakes to sit alongside other design programes. THIS—line space control—has become the deciding factor between using Miro or switching our entire team to Figma. We are diehard Miro fans and it’s fully integrated as part of our workflow, in sales and design collaboration… but we need text sensitivity. Our presentations need to reflect the kinds of type and design sensitivities we deliver to our clients in our work. Please level up this feature! 


Very strange they still haven’t implemented this.

 

Shame.


yes, needed !!


Upvoting this - we use Miro to draft emails and webpages for quick approval. The line spacing doesn’t match our site so final design elements are inaccurate when approving. Agreed with another user - its why we are moving to figma for this.
