Conversion Process

Font family metrics:

Calculate values

automatically

If this radio button is checked, TransType will

automatically calculate vertical metrics for the

destination family. You cannot edit global family metrics

manually in this case

Use custom values

If this radio button is checked, you get access to the

following fields to change them. Edit family vertical

metrics only if you know what you are doing and

understand the purpose well

Descent

The maximum depth below the baseline reached by

characters in this family fonts. The depth is usually a

negative number
