Bearing lines diagonal after upgrading to new version

Post by HighTechHillbilly »

Hello All,
We recently upgraded to version 14.0.0.2028.

Now, many of the bearing lines are diagonal.
How do we make them vertical, like they were before?

Slanted metrics will show if your font contains an italic angle.

Both left and right side-bearings will be slanted, and optional the grid lines. Right now there is a bug that shows them the wrong way. We will fix that asap.

If your font is not italic or slanted, then set the Italic angle to 0.
