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.

    Hi. 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?

    Also details matter. Scaling is sensitive to the point you scale about

    I needed to do this before merging in glyphs from another font. There are reasons.

  1. Select all glyphs (ctrl+a)
  2. From menu choose Elements > Transformation > Transform.
  3. Change the second dropdown to Scale Uniformly...
  4. Change X and Y to 120%

Default checkboxes will automatically increase the kerning and width too.
