I opened a font file in FontForge. I want to enlarge all glyphs by 20%. I tried Element, Transformation, and Transform, but they did not work for me. How can I accomplish this? I am using FontForge 11.21.

2Hi. Welcome to GDSE. Why do you want to enlarge the glyphs in a font in fontforge? Couldn't you just set a 20% larger font size and perhaps adjust the kerning when using the font in an application?– Billy KerrSep 8, 2019 at 9:11

2Also details matter. Scaling is sensitive to the point you scale about– joojaaSep 8, 2019 at 11:45

1I needed to do this before merging in glyphs from another font. There are reasons.– Sarah NorthwayFeb 22, 2020 at 18:53

- Select all glyphs (ctrl+a)
- From menu choose Elements > Transformation > Transform.
- Change the second dropdown to Scale Uniformly...
- Change X and Y to 120%
Default checkboxes will automatically increase the kerning and width too.
