Editing Font Metrics

5. In the options area select the metrics that you want to change:
6. Enter the amount by which you want to adjust the values and select the
units (which can be font units or a percentage of the source value).
Enter a positive number to increase metrics distances or kerning or a
negative value – to decrease.
Normally metrics are measured from the bounding box. You can
change this, however, if you want, to measurement from a
measurement line by using the check box.
The measurement line is a horizontal line (defined in the Glyph
Window) that defines a “slice” which is used to measure the distance
from outline to sidebearings. Please refer to the page 305 in the
“Editing Glyph” chapter for more detail.
