I have the same problem, as I prefer to have “ICON + NAME” identifiers on my documents:
This problem messes up with table row heights as well:
I’ve mitigated the problem using a CSS injection browser extension:
However, I haven’t found a way to overcome this problem on mobile app. Also, there are other people facing the same problem, as you can here: Vertically align Icon and Name
I’ve also tried the LaTeX solution proposed by Amy, but in my case the SVG solution was the closest I could reach to my neededs (I’m a portuguese native speaker, and LaTeX solution didn’t perform well with accents - note the “extra” space between “ã” and “o” on “Cirurgião” word):
I hope you can provide a fix for this, or a native feature that allows a display name which is a combination of an icon and a text.
