Re: font name size
You need to enlarge the English glyphs.
Re: font name size
I enlarged it to 175% but the problem is the same.
I even copied the whole English letters (small & capital) from other font, but the problem is the same.
Re: font name size
also deleted all English letters and reinstalled the fonts and restarted the PC, but no success

Re: font name size
Try recalculating the font metrics.
Re: font name size
tries that but no success.
I sent a copy of the font to you

Re: font name size
After recalculating the font metrics the font name in the selection drop list looks fine. I dropped the _underscore in the font name and replaced the zero with Capital O.
Since some of the Arabic glyphs have high Ascent and Descent values, the Cap Height and x-height are always going to be relatively small compared to some Latin Based fonts. The proportion of the English Glyphs looks good to me. No need to enlarge them any further, or they would look out of place if you use English product names in Arabic text.

Re: font name size
I have done the following:
1- renamed the whole font as ABCD.
2- recalculating the metrics minimum and maximum.
3- installed the font on a different pc.
4- testing the font name on office 2010-2019.
but no success

Re: font name size
I solved the problem by opening a new file and did the following:
1- insert same glyphs count.
2- copy the glyphs from old font with code points.
3- copy the same metrics
4- import the open type layout OTL to the new files.
5- delete old fonts from font folder.
6- install the new fonts.

Re: font name size
Maybe the font contains other glyphs with excessive proportions.

Re: font name size
For Arabic fonts there are some characters which tend to have excessive vertical dimensions in those fonts which include them, for example $06DD 'End of Ayah' and $06E9 'Place of Sajdah'.
It might be informative to look at the font information dialog in Font Creator to determine which character has the maximum height 'Y Maximum'.
