I’m having trouble with extra white space appearing above the icon after generating an icon from OTF to EOT. I’m using font-squirrel, but I’m thinking there might be an improper setting in my Font-Icon within Glyph Mini when I export to OTF.
Here is an example of the selected icon showing the extra white space above. The selection should show a perfect square with no white-space.
Here are the font settings:
Units per em 1000
Ascender 850
Cap height 700
x-height 500
Descender -150
There is a similar story in the forums, but the images have been deleted and the solution referrers to a different software other than Glyph Mini.
OK, I found at least one solution on the Font Squirrel side.
If I select Custom Adjustment and define the same Ascender and Descender properties in Glyph Min, then I get the icon to occupy a perfect box.
I’m not clear if there is something still going on with how I’m constructing the font on the Glyph mini side, but at least this is a fix. Hope this is helpful to anyone else who might encounter this problem.
