PowerPoint Stroke BUG

Hello Everyone!
I currently work on a variable font with a lot of masters (32) and I receive some report from a client that the font has problems when using the stroke on PowerPoint (From the OTF files). The stroke is not centered on the font, it must be a box problem when I configured them on Fontlab (it Works fine on Adobe). I tried to change it (Safe Bottom/Top, BBox etc...) multiple times but without success. The only way was to recreate the font from the beginning. I can share with you some data from the font and a screenshot of the problem.
Does anyone already face this problem? If you guys have any idea how to resolve this I would love to know it!


Best,
M.

The Strikeout position on Fontlab wasn't set correctly, in Adobe the strikeout's position from FontLab is not used but it is on PowerPoint. When I reset the values on "Other Values" everything was fine!
