Font line-height changing with new glyphs

Post by Waleedov »

When I paste glyphs from font A to font B and then export as a new font, the line-height changes and other metrics of the original font, although I only pasted new glyphs.
How do I keep the metrics of the orignal font when pasting glyphs from another font? I checked font properties, they don't seem have changed.

In FontCreator 14, Font metrics are calculated on the Axes tab of the Font Properties panel.

CapHeight is automatically set from the height of the H glyph.
xHeight is automatically set from the height of the x glyph.

What is the correct workflow for merging 2 fonts and making glyphs consistent in terms of metrics?
I can manage to make them consistent visually but in terms of metrics they don't fit.
