Scale
This action lets you scale your glyphs proportionally or non-proportionally.
Enter your desired vertical and horizontal scale factors in the edit fields.
Switch on the Proportional scale option to keep the vertical and horizontal
scale factors the same.
Switch off the Scale hints option to avoid scaling hints along with the
glyph’s outline. Scaling hints’ width is not always precise so if you scale
hints with the outline you sometimes find that some hints now miss the
nodes that they were supposed to hint. We recommend converting hints to
links before this transformation to keep the proper width and position of
hints.
Here is an example of this transformation (the letters of the word “Sample”
were scaled 80% horizontally and the letters of word “text” were
proportionally scaled to 120% of original size):
