TTF fonts too small in MS Word menu.
Hi there,
I am having an issue with TTF fonts in PCs being displayed too small in MS Word and Bistream’s font manager . (see attach)
In the beginning I thought I’ve made a mistake in the TrueType Metrics, but after reading in the FL Forum “Tips and Tricks: Setting Font Family Metrics in FontLab” carefully I realized this was not the case.
The fonts has 1000 units UPM and only if I set it with 2048 they are displayed correctly.
I thought 2048 units were not mandatory for TTF fonts but apparently this is the case here.
Or am I doing something else wrong?
Have anyone had the same problem with TTF set with 1000 units? And which was the solution?
Thanks in advance.

Can you give us a screen shot of your Font Info for:
Font UPM Value
Most Important Font Dimensions
Additional Font Metrics

Hey!
I found the problem. I wasn’t related to the metrics but to the lack of proper “PANOSE font identification” data.
That makes fonts to look to small in MS Offices menus.
Thanks.

Hey ReginaldV,
Font info > Version and identification > PANOSE Font identification > Record
Then fill up every field according with the font’s characteristics.

ARRRGHHH!!!
One font changed and displayed correctly as soon as I filled up the PANOSE info, BUT THE REST OF THE FAMILY CONTINUE BEING BADLY DISPLAYED. Now I think the changes were due to cached data.
I still have the same problem using 1000 units or 2048. I have no clue how can I fix it.
Does anybody know what Font info values Microsoft Word takes in consideration to render the Fonts Menu?
Many thanks.
