Lucida Calligraphy Numbers Do Not Touch the Baseline

 * }

-

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Windows versions 3.1, 3.11

-

When using the numerical values 0, 1, 2, 6, 8 in the Lucida Calligraphy typeface that comes with the Microsoft Font Pack for Microsoft Windows version 3.1, the characters may appear to be floating. This is caused by the 3, 4, 5, 7, and 9 characters dipping below the baseline in what is referred to as &quot;old-style numerics.&quot; Lucida Blackletter also does this.

This is a design feature of the typeface.
