I want each line of text to touch (vertically)
Posted: Mon Apr 15, 2024 8:02 pm
Hi. Total newbie here. I've done a bit of googling and looking through the forum but can't find what I'm looking for - probably because I don't know the correct terminology.
I have 2 questions.
1. I am making a font that will create different sized frames, so a top corner of a box, and directly under that, a vertical component, and then directly under that a bottom corner. The probelm is that I can't get them to touch - I want there to be a continuous vertical line from the top row, to the second row, to the bottom row.
I feel like I have all the vertical metrics the same, so I'm sure I'm missing something very basic.
2. I want to be able to use the space key for getting to the other side of the box and then putting another vertical line in to finish that side of the box (so that the boxes can be of varying width). Something weird happens and I think it's to do with the fact that the 'space' 'glyph' has no height and it messes everything up.
I'm currently testing it in Affinity Publisher but eventually want to use it in a digital planner.
I'll attach the file.
Thanks in advance.
