Is it possible to modify the Y scale of a font asset?

Hello,

I have a unique challenge and I haven’t been able to find anything in the forums or elsewhere online to help me out.

Our artist has designed our text to use a standard font, but at 75% of its original height (see below).

I’m wondering if there is a way to create or modify the font asset so that it will always render at this scale. I have found the “scale” property in the font asset, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to scale the font on its individual axes.

We’ve considered just changing the Y scale of all the text fields to achieve the desired effect, but this will have the unfortunate side effect of also changing the Y scale of our inline graphics, so we’d like to avoid this if possible.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave

This is not currently possible.

A potential option would be to use a font editing tool to create a new variant of this source font file where the height of the glyphs would be reduced to this 75% height.

Lastly, this is a good feature suggestion which I will certainly explore and provide feedback once I have more information to share.
