Huge text cursor after generating modified font

[henrik163]

Hello. I have a problem starting to get on my nerves.

I'm making som modifications to an existing font for a client. When I have generated the new version (OTF) and use my text tool in Illustrator or Photoshop, the cursor is really huge and the text only appear at the top of the cursor. I have not made any more changes  than making the font bold. I don´t have this problem with the old existing font. any ideas? thank you in advance!

This might be the problem with the font vertical metrics. Have you asked at the support center:

What do you mean with "the problem with the font vertical metrics"? can I do something about it?
I have not asked the support yet. I unfortunately did not find my serial number. We bought FontLab quite a while ago

Here is an image were you can see the new font with cursor/bounding box. quite annoying
