Pasting from Illustrator scale problem

Mikhail Kovalev

UPM size is 1520, caps height = ascender height = 1143

Size in Illustrator is 1143 pt (height)

When pasted into Fontlab the size becomes 1737

What am I doing wrong?

Just pasted a 100 x 100 pt square from illustrator, it came out about 152 units in height Fontlab

I think its the UPM size I'm using, it multiplies everything 1520 / 1000 = 1.52 times

Do is mean I can not have a custom UPM and must use 1000?

Yes

Yes

It looks it can be solved by having 1000 as UPM while pasting, and when you have all glyphs in fontlab , change UPM to 1520 afterwards....
