Subfont Scaling
Not all fonts are the same, thankfully. The x height in one font can be smaller than another font and this makes the font look smaller at the same text height. For this reason, we have added the ability to scale subfonts in 12.1.0.0.
When editing a subfont, using the following dialog:
The Scale Height and Width fields allow a percentage scaling of the subfont. In the control stream, this will look like this:
shortname "ps11"
longname "pseudoFont_11"
family "pseudo_11"
default_char "TT2876772e",63
map 0x000,0xffff,"TT2876772e"
map 0x0600,0x06ff,"OT76519bd4",%140,100
map 0x0400,0x04ff,"TT2876772e",%90,100
map 0x3000,0xffff,"TT2876772e",%110,100
Where the scaling is given with the “%110,100” after the name of the subfont.
