I haven't seen this on the wishlist, so I'm guessing it's there and I just totally missed it.
Is there a way to change the height of a glyph, or preferably all glyphs in a font? I've been working on one and though I've got everything else working correctly, I cannot, for the life of me figure out a way to change the top margin of glyphs. The bottom margin seems to be set in stone, and the top margin seems to... simply not be there.

I'm assuming you are referring to the cap height? I fyou open up a slot in FontLab you will see this as a dotted line at the top of the em square.

You can scale your glyphs to it if you want this to be your cap height.

I figured that much, but is there any way to change it?
