Problem with layered typeface

Martin Silvertant0 votes

Today I designed a dingbat font with multiple layers and for some reason when the different fonts are stacked there's a vertical shift with each layer. In other words, the shapes are not vertically centered even though they do align perfectly in FontLab. Is there something I might be doing wrong?

Also, how do you define the vertical metrics in dingbat fonts?
