"HHead Descent Offset" should be a positive number in most cases around 100 to 200 (the higher the value the smaller the line spacing). ![]() "HHead Ascent Offset" should be a negative number in most cases around -100 to -200 (the lower the value the smaller the line spacing). Now comes the tricky part: Depending on the font you'll need to experiment a little to get the line spacing right. Set all numbers to zero in the metrics fields, but don't uncheck the "Is Offset" boxes. Now select "OS/2" on the left side of the Font Information and then the "Metrics" tab on the right side.
