Units of Measure USA Inch feature needed

I do not go over the Cap height line for most Cap Characters if it is not curved or needs to go slightly above and below, not like the samples you show in your reply. I have to match / duplicate our Industry Standards Fonts to match a plastic stencil press letter so a 1" font is 1", 1 1/4" font is 1 1/4" etc that have been the standard for 50+ years.

The samples in my reply are all from different fonts at 120 point, and the Caps Height varies above and below the 1" guideline.

See this post in the FAQ Thread at the top of the support forum.

I know what you are looking for, but tried to explain why FontCreator cannot use inches on the rulers because how many funits = 1" depends on how the font is designed.

The first “H” in my screen shot is from my font “Guru” with a Caps Height of 1274 funits, the second is from “Balava” with a Caps Height of 1577 funits, the fifth “H” is from “Talapanna” with a Caps Height of 1167 funits. Guru is slightly over 1" while Talapanna is slightly less than 1" high.

• For Guru: Ascender + Descender + Line Gap = 1879 + 547 + 31 = 2458 (approx 2048 x 1.2)
• For Balava: Ascender + Descender + Line Gap = 2123 + 539 + 0 = 2662 (approx 2048 x 1.3)
• For Talapanna: Ascender + Descender + Line Gap = 1833 + 1280 + 0 = 3113 (approx 2048 x 1.52)
