interlinear space and Crimson font
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b7e08bfc3ab0dc1483daa4997762ac1b.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
Hi there, I have the following code (font available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/crimsontext/files/): \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[Crimson] \setupinterlinespace[line=10ex] \starttext \dorecurse{5}{\input knuth\par} \stoptext And no matter whether I comment the third line or not, I get the same interlinear space. What am I doing wrong here? Thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.oudeis.tk

The font is buggy, I made a example which doesn’t require the simplefonts module and you can see that you need large ex value to see a difference in the linespacing. \starttypescript[serif][crimson] \setups[font:fallback:serif] \definefontsynonym[Serif][file:crimsonroman][features=default] \stoptypescript \definetypeface[crimson][rm][serif][crimson][default] \setupbodyfont[crimson] \setupinterlinespace[line=10ex] \starttext \input knuth \stoptext What you can do is to send a bug report to the designers of the font.

Thanks for the reply, Wolfgang. There are other things that don't work well (such as footnotes superscripts). I'll report the issues to the font designer (hoping that I am able translate from ConTeXt to normal speak ;-)). Thanks again for your help, Pablo -- http://www.oudeis.tk

I co-work on Crimson now, so what is broken that I need to fix? Regards, Khaled

The value for ex is wrong, when I run the following example I get for Latin Modern 4.31pt and for Pagella 4.49pt but Crimson gives only 1.12pt. \starttext \definedfont[Serif at 10pt]\the\exheight \definedfont[file:texgyrepagellaregular at 10pt]\the\exheight \definedfont[file:crimsonroman at 10pt]\the\exheight \stoptext Wolfgang

I see, I checked and it seems like a bug in FontForge causing calculation of wrong xheight when generating the font, will see if I can fix this. Regards, Khaled
