I'm also getting really large line spacing in the desktop version:

Sorry for leaving this unanswered for so long! I'm really swamped with other work these days and not in a position to dig into this at the moment. @CatharsisFonts I know it's a lot to ask, but if you would like to fix this I would gladly accept a PR.

Hi Sebastian,

sorry, I'm already woefully neglecting my own type project due to time constraints! In case you're working with Glyphs, though, there's a great tutorial on vertical metrics that has helped me before.

Cheers, Christian

No worries Christian. I don't have Glyphs unfortunately; I just remember being confused by FontForge's metrics UI. I've been recommending people use Amiri instead (which uses Crimson for its Latin alphabet) because unlike myself, Khaled knows what he's doing :)

I've been wondering where Amiri got that beautiful Latin from! Thanks! :)
