J,q,p descenders cutting off?

[SophiaS (Sophia)]

Hi,

Im finding that ‘j,q & p’ descenders are being cut off when typing in ‘Word’
… Is this a simple problem that can be fixed by adjusting the descender height in the ‘info’ panel?

… help would be much appreciated.

Think I’ve sorted it by just adjusting the Descender height.

Yes. And perhaps have a look at this tutorial:

This has nothing to do with TTFAutohint. You need to set the correct winDescent value in the master settings.

Yes, there is a TTFAutohint options parameter. There is no difference between the trial and the unlocked app, except for the trial period.

But as @GeorgSeifert said, your case has nothing to do with hinting.

Hey! Were you able to solve the issue? I am having the same issue but can’t figure out how to fix it using winDescent.
