Fixing custom font vertical position. Apple Font Tool Suite not available anymore?

787 views Asked by At

I followed the link in Fonts, and I'm redirected to the downloads site. There I can´t find the Apple Font Suite Tool package, has it been renamed? Or it doesn't longer exist?

Thanks

EDIT: I'm using custom fonts in my iOS app, and it seems that they add a vertical offset below the texts, something like the problem described in this post, at least regarding button titles. The solution provided leads to using Apple Font Suite Tool to fix this. Is there an alternative way? Thanks

The package is called OS X Font Tools instead.

I used the following commands

ftxdumperfuser -t hhea -A d font.ttf

this generates an xml file that you tweak the params

ftxdumperfuser -t hhea -A f font.ttf

This info is from this post:http://www.andyyardley.com/2012/04/24/custom-ios-fonts-and-how-to-fix-the-vertical-position-problem/

It worked for me
