[Fontforge-users] Strike metrics of the embedded bitmap

[Chia-I Wu <b90...@nt...>]

Hi,

I tried to embed a bdf font to a ttf font and found that the metrics of
the embedded strike are not as expected.

The metrics of the bdf font are:

FONTBOUNDINGBOX 16 16 0 -2
FONT_ASCENT 14
FONT_DESCENT 2

and the metrics of the embedded strike are:

Horizontal Line Metrics
               Ascender:   13  # should be 14?
              Descender:   -2
              Max Width:   16
            Caret Numer:    1
            Caret Denom:    0
           Caret Offset:    0
            Min Orig SB:    0
             Min Adv SB:    1
           Max Befor BL:   13  # should be 14?
           Max After BL:   -2

The bdf font I tried is available here (2.7M):
