Importing size-critical font vector

Post by isrn2 »

I'm creating fonts composed of hundreds of same-size circles. I finally got them to import fairly round, but now my problem is that the lower case letters are importing at the same height and size as the upper case letters. Because these are rhinestone fonts, it's critical that the circles are exactly the same size for both upper and lower case, and I can't figure out how to get the imports to work correctly. When the lower case letters import larger than I designed them, the circles are too large. I've tried copying and pasting from Corel and saving and importing as .eps files.

Any help would be appreciated!!

To improve the roundness of circles, if they are small, increase the funits/em to 4096 from the default 2048.

To import vectors at the same scale factor, regardless of the size of the bounding box, set the appropriate Glyph Options.
