First off- Hello! I'm new here. Not sure if this is the correct category, but seemed to fit best here. I'm sure the excellent moderators will help out with that.
I am a graphic designer at First Baptist Church of Norfolk. LifeWay, the vendor for our Vacation Bible School curriculum each year, has provided a free font to go along with this years VBS. It's called Game On! and is available for download here:
https://vbs.lifeway.com/2018/02/20/exclusive-game-fonts-graphics The font seems to work fine in all Adobe Creative Suite applications with both Mac & Windows.
But on Windows machines, in Microsoft Word & Publisher, the bottoms of all round letters (C, O, Q, etc.) are being sliced off ("flat tires"). This seems to be happening on all our Windows machines, so it's not just isolated to a single computer.
Is there a way to take the data from the existing OTF & re-ouput or re-convert it, so that the characters work correctly across the board? No modifications or changes to the type, just creating a new OTF that works properly.
We don't have any kind of font creation applications here and was just wondering if this was something that was possible.
Thanks in advance for any help. Have a great day!
Jeremy

In the ‘Statistics’ section you can use the ‘Check’ option to find out what the largest vertical values are and to which characters these are related.
Consequently, in the ‘Header’ section the related entries can be adapted. That should do the trick.
If there are deviations in the calculated vertical metrics among a font family, one can standardize the values for all members, of course.
