Hi,
I hope this is the right section to ask this question. I was experimenting to the font to make it little bolder version and applied a bold effect on the entire font with checkbox of keep dimensions. When font exported and check on illustrator it shows like line height is too much big as vertical but the new line is working fine. Can anyone tell me what can be the issue?
I also noticed the dimensions changed in font info section.
Thanks

Hey there,
It is possible that this has to do with your vertical metrics setup and/or the way style linking works in your fonts.
I’d recommend reading Karsten Luecke’s papers on Font Metrics and Naming, maybe that already helps you solve the problem.1
