FontLab Studio – Line Height on Font Weight Alternative

by

I am using FontLab Studio – I have two font files – a normal and a bold alternative. Here are the two fonts side-by-side:

When I export the normal and install it it looks just like i want it to – however bold text seems to be slightly taller – making the line shift down whenever I make it bold – for instance, here are the two side by side in an invisible table:

You can see this more clearly when put into a table and compared to how Calibri behaves:

What am I missing here to make the line height of these two variations the same?

To better show exactly what I mean, see this video:

Answer

Two things to check:

  1. In File > Font Info, compare all values under Metrics and Dimensions
  2. Do you export to .otf or .ttf? Does the problem persist with .ttf?

Let us know what you found there.
