Cursor Height!

Hello Friends! I am currently collaborating with a friend on a font and as we’ve been testing we have noticed that the cursor height in Photoshop & Illustrator is really really tall… Like triple the letter height. I have not had this with any of my other fonts. Any ideas why?

I’ve linked to the Glyphs file so you can check it out on your own. Let me know what you think: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2sikbj6ykxqfyin/Carne%20Font.glyphs?dl=0

Photoshop calculates the cursor from the tales glyph in the font. There is a script in my repository that should help you find the tallest glyphs: https://github.com/schriftgestalt/Glyphs-Scripts/blob/master/Helper/find%20Extreme%20 Nodes.py
