[golden_toolkit] Golden tests are failing after upgrading Flutter SDK to v3.19.4 because fonts are allocating slightly more space

[yasinarik-talabat]

Description of the Problem:

• Golden tests are failing after upgrading Flutter SDK to v3.19.4 because fonts are allocating slightly more space.
• As you can see in the diff image below, since the new fonts are taking more vertical space (height seems to be changed), everything misaligned vertically. Since this is a list of texts, the misalignment is staggered (cumulative), adding the one above and so on.

How to resolve this issue?

We're running into the exact same issue. Wondering if you found any workaround or if there was an update on this issue?

Are you sure this is related to the toolkit and not Flutter increasing font rendering fidelity?

[brennan-smith]

If it was just due to Flutter increasing the fidelity I would expect to see similar things in my actual applications, but it's only occurring in the golden_toolkit.
