Hi,

Why were changed ascent and descent values of all base14 fonts in commit
from 16.09.2018 "Enhance base14 fonts' underline and strikeout position and
thickness ...thus they better match their counterpart's appearance."? Maybe
it was unintended as it is not mentioned in the commit message?

Now these descent values are higher than bounding box of these fonts which
should not happen. And original values were what is officially provided by
adobe:

"Font Metrics for PDF Core 14 Fonts"

For example Helvetica.afm:

Ascender 718
Descender -207

I suggest that they should be changed back.

Btw there is also kerning info about these fonts.
