True type font Creation

[Yellow Diamond]

I am creating True type fonts

I have created them and generate the upper case fine
I am working with Eps files
the lower case have stopped me from going forward as the Size i create the EPS file changes when i copy and paste into the area to do so.

example  a   and  b  they the same  which distorts the b.   

I need them to retain the size so when i generate  the alphabet my  letters are sized correctly to use.

Please advise i know it is something simple i am missing here but oh and I missing it, lol.

I have figured everything else out but this one last step

Please help

You must surround every glyph with rectangles of the same size. After importing EPS you can easily delete this rectangle.

So when i create my glyph i create a rectangle around around each glyph, i then bring that glyph into fontographer,,   

Then once I have done that  I delete the Rectangle? before i generate the fonts.

Thank you  please let me know if i have this right, This is the only thing holding me back,

Thank you again

Yes, but rectangles have to have the same size.
