I don't meant to modify the ascend and descend that define the em-units. That is a different setting that is left untouched. The setting I mean is not in the "General"-Tab, but in the "OS/2"-Tab of the "Font Information" dialog. I've read in a changelog entry that the OS/2 tab was introduced to group a bunch of settings that were spread in different tabs. So when you're using an older version of fontforge you might have to look around a bit for the settings. Please compare: http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/fontinfo.html#PS-General where you set Ascent and Descent and the number of EM-units (that is not what I mean). Here you'll see the old dialog without the new Tab "OS/2" - the settings I meant are probably in the "TTF-Values" tab in that version. with http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/fontinfo.html#TTF-Metrics where you can set the offsets I was talking about. > [...] Please tell me in detail what you have changed in the font and then I > can fix this for the OOo3.0 release. I think the QA will not let us do this > for OOo2.0.2 or OOo2.0.3. While I agree that OOo 2.0.2 might be a bit too early, I think 2.0.3 sounds reasonable. But let's see whether it doesn't break other platforms first :-) I didn't do anything else but * Increase version number (has nothing to with the issue) * Choose Elements|Font-Information Tab OS/2 Tab Metrics * In the box "Win Ascent Offset" enter "-630" (old value "0") * In the box "Wind Descent Offset" enter "-200" (old value "0") leave the other settings unchanged. * finally create the updated font with File|Generate Fonts > Did you already do some tests on other platforms with your changed font? Not me personally, but Simon Wilper checked on Windows (XP) and reported that the same settings work there as well. > Thanks again to you ... You're welcome :-) > By the way do you also have an idea how to fix issue 50834? Not yet. Did never experience that problem on windows-installations. (And this issue made me use fontforge & reading about font-stuff the very first time :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
