Hi,
I have been trying to make some adjustments of baseline(move it SLIGHTLY downwards).
I opened the metrics settings from the format menu but im unable to locate it.
Im sharing the snapshot of the metrics setting here.

The baseline cannot be moved. The glyphs have to be moved.

In the Standard or Professional versions, the Glyph Transformer can be used to automate the process. In the Home Edition, shortcut keys in the Glyph Edit Window will be the quickest method.
  1. Select All contours = Ctrl A
  2. Up cursor = 10 funits, Ctrl Up = 1 funits, Shift Up = 100 funits
  3. Alt Right = next glyph
If you have used composites, there is much less work to do since you only need to move the base glyphs.
