Editing Alignment Zones
To set or edit alignment zones open the Font Info dialog box and
select the Hinting settings item in the list at the left:
There are two list boxes where alignment zones may be set: the Primary
zones list and the Secondary zones list:
In Type 1 terminology primary zones are called BlueValues and secondary
zones OtherBlues.
BlueValues include one bottom alignment zone, the so-called baseline
zone, and up to 6 top alignment zones. The baseline zone is used to control
bottom overshoots that have to be aligned to the baseline.
