Font cut off at the top...

[jeffsingerphotography webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I'm using the Zapfino font on my webpage and the tips of certain letters are getting cut off. This is only happening in fireworks. I tried expanding the text box, but this does not work. Any ideas?

You can see what I'm referring to here:

Note that on the "menu" items the G in Galleries is cut off, while it is not at on the G in Galleries at the bottom of the page. The difference between the two is that the "menu" items are buttons rather than just a plain text box.

thanks,
Jeff

Can you check to make sure that the Slice is large enough when you are
exporting it? Zoom in on it if need be.

Do you see it being cut-off when you preview within Fireworks?

Failing all else, could you send me the PNG file to look at?

Cheers,
Sam

If it seems large enough to you,

It usually means that when the font was built the ascenders were outside
the character box for the font. You could fix the problem in
Fontographer, if you have a copy. Otherwise, convert the text to paths
to get your ascenders to show up.
