Closed lldong closed 9 years ago

With Monoid-Regular-12 in Xcode, Chinese font is too small:

Thanks. The font doesn't support Chinese (would be a huuuuuge task) so the chinese font used is another font picked by xcode.

What you can do is change the metrics of Monoid using FontForge. (http://fontforge.github.io)

  1. Open the font
  2. Press cmd+shift+f
  3. Select "general"
  4. Change ascent to e.g. 1664 (+ notice "Scale Outlines" is unchecked): screen shot 2015-08-01 at 20 58 27

Then press "OK" and File -> generate font
