Make characters bigger
Make characters bigger
I editted a font by cutting and pasting some characters from another font, but the new characters are too small. They look the same as the others, and I tried AutoMetrics, but I can't get them to be bigger. How do I do it?

Stretching characters
Very easy. First set up guidelines for x height and CAPS height.
In the glyph edit window, Edit, Select all (Ctrl A), and stretch the character to the right size. Then adjust the side bearing by dragging the guides. Check that the base of the character is still on the baseline. Some characters like s or c have a bowl that should descend slightly below the baseline.
