as the title says, whenever i import the svgs to glyphs some of the letters such as (a,c…) scale weirdly despite being smaller than the letter b for instance, i also used the same import method for the UPPERCASE and as you can see they appear and work exactly as intended in illustrator

can you check in the macro panel:

```auto
print(Glyphs.defaults["GSScalePasteToUPM"])

```

if it prints `True` or `1`, run this scrips:

```auto
Glyphs.defaults["GSScalePasteToUPM"] = None

```
