Incorrect font scaling with adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth

Author: vakrilovCreated Jul 16, 2025Updated Sep 16, 2026
LabelsIssue: Author Provided Repro

Description

Sometimes <Text> element that has both lineHeight and adjustsFontSizeToFit sometimes shrinks the text even if there is enough place for it to be rendered.

It seems to happen when there is a fractional height separator in the layout. There seem to be two problems:

  1. The font is scaled although there is enough space for the text to be rendered with the original font-size
  2. minimumFontScale seems not to be respected

Steps to reproduce

Here is minimal repro code of the app (also available in the expo snack)

When running the app the 2nd and 7th text element seem to be wrongly scaled (changing the number of element, the height of the separator or even fast-refresh seem to alter which elements are scaled incorrectly).

import { SafeAreaView, StyleSheet, Text, View } from "react-native";

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    alignItems: "center",
    justifyContent: "center",
  },
  text: {
    fontSize: 12,
    lineHeight: 20,
    width: 200,
  },
  separator: {
    height: 0.5,
    width: 200,
    backgroundColor: "green",
  },
});

const Test = () => (
  <Text
    style={styles.text}
    numberOfLines={1}
    adjustsFontSizeToFit
    minimumFontScale={0.8}
  >
    XXXXXXXXX
  </Text>
);

export default function App() {
  return (
    <SafeAreaView>
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <View style={styles.separator} />
        <Test />
        <Test />
        <Test />
        <Test />
        <Test />
        <Test />
        <Test />
        <Test />
        <Test />
        <Test />
      </View>
    </SafeAreaView>
  );
}
