Fonts getting "Cut off" in Word
Some script fonts with sweeping ascenders / descenders may look "cut off" when you use them in Microsoft Word. Here are a few ways to work around this issue. First, with text selected, go to Format > Paragraph. In the Indents / Spacing tab, under Spacing -> Line Spacing. ("Single" is shown in the display)
Next, try some of these options :
- Option 1: Select "At Least." For "At," enter the size that corresponds to the size of your font.
- Option 2: Select "1.5 lines." This may be more effective for script fonts with large descenders or swashes.
- Option 3: Enter a value in the "After" field that's 1-4 pt or more (for 72 pt+ font) or 2-3 pt (for a 48pt font.)
- Option 4: Select "Multiple." For "At," enter a very small value like 1.1 or 1.05, experimenting as necessary.
Hopefully this will help you work around issues with ascenders and descenders looking cut off. You can read more about this here on Microsoft:
If you're still experiencing an issue, don't hesitate to contact the seller, since it's something they may be able to resolve by editing the metrics of the font.
