Edit Font Dimensions

Edit Font Dimensions is a RoboFont extension that allows you to change your Font Dimensions directly in Glyph Editor.

How to use:

  1. Install extension.
  2. Click toolbar icon.
  3. Decide whether you keep the ascender-to-descender distance the same as UPM.

Note: If you change the descender and then toggle the check box on, the ascender will snap to the UPM—and vice versa. (Thanks to Dyana Weissman for the feature idea!)

  1. Move font dimension values. (draggable as guidelines)
  2. Exit tool.
