Font size: how do I make the whole font set bigger?

Glyphs
#1

My font is much smaller than regular fonts. I need to make the whole thing bigger all at once, but I can’t seem to figure out how to use the units per Em correctly. When I type in 80o it gets smaller, when I type in 1200 it gets smaller.

I created my font at the following metrics:
Ascender: 623
Cap Height: 615
x-Height 500
Descender: -23

I need it to be double the size.

Easiest way is to change the UPM (Units per Em) value in File > Font Info > Font to a smaller value. Do not use the Scale to UPM parameter, which does something different.

800 must have made it bigger. If it displays smaller, then something else went wrong.

How do you test the font?
