What may be the problem?

Hi,

I have encountered with a strange problem. While working on a new font, when I installed a font for testing it shows strange positioning problems as in image Tahree114

But when I change the zoom size or font size there is no such problem as shown in Tahree150 below

I am using FontLab and MS Volt.

Best regards,
Atif

Hmm, could it be a hinting problem?

Have you checked your alignment zones and bluescale? Perhaps they are telling some details not to overshoot at a specific point size. I dont know arabic but it looks like a detail on the first example could infact be there but has been pressed up to the baseline because of such hinting instructions.
