This attribute configures the metrics of the font represented by a font resource member.

The attribute HeightMode determines how the value found in the attribute Height of a font resource member does affect the resulting size of the font. Embedded Wizard supports two different font height calculation modes: Compatible and Popular.

If the attribute is configured with the value Compatible, the original Embedded Wizard method is used to calculate the font size. In this case the specified Height of a font covers the ascent and descent area including the space for the accent characters, as shown in the following image:

If the attribute is configured with the value Popular, the calculation method is conform to how other popular applications (e.g. Adobe Photoshop, Affinity Designer, etc.) interpret the font size. In this case the specified Height of a font covers the ascent and descent area excluding the space for accent characters, as shown in the following image:
