Letters sit too high or too low

A word comes out with one letter riding high or dropping low, like a key stuck on a typewriter.

Almost always, that letter was written away from the baseline.

What happened

Every letter is placed against a shared floor so that letters written on different days line up. That floor comes from where you wrote each letter relative to the guide lines. Write an n floating above the line and it keeps floating in every word.

The fix

Open the Letters room, find the letter that sits wrong, and write it again with its body resting on the baseline. Then make the font again. Redoing a letter.

Which letters are meant to cross the lines

Some letters look wrong but are correct:

- g, j, p, q, y drop below the baseline. That is their tail, not an error. - b, d, f, h, k, l, t rise above the body height. - Capitals stand taller than lowercase. - Apostrophes and quotes sit high by design — Punctuation and marks.

If it is one of these, it is probably right. Compare it against the same letter in writing you have on paper.

If everything sits slightly off together

That is not this problem. A whole font sitting high or low reads as a normal font with unusual proportions, and usually traces back to writing much larger or smaller than usual — Writing at your natural size.

If a letter is enormous or tiny

A letter far out of scale with its neighbours is a different fault. Rewrite it at the same size as the rest; if it comes back wrong again, tell us which letter and which font.
