I have a barcode font that seems to have a “native” point size of 24. It is gigantic at 24. When I set the point size to 2, it is almost right, but still too big. When set to 1, it is WAY too small. I changed units/em up and down, with no effect at all. I want to set point size to 12 and get a good barcode. Then I can reduce to (maybe) 8 for a very small barcode. How can I resample this font?
Truetype fonts don’t have any “native” point size. They are scalable vectors. Changing the funits/em value will make no difference at all.
What you can do is scale the glyphs down by about 75% using the glyph transform wizard (Professional Edition) or the Transform toolbar (Home Edition) so that they no longer extend all of the way between the WinAscent and WinDescent. In the diagram below, the letter e is smaller than the letter f.
