[URGENT] Aktiv Grotesk - Improperly Offset due to Adobe
Aktiv Grotesk fonts improperly sit higher than where they belong, visible in the image attached. This breaks our existing installations managed via Adobe Fonts' Web Projects.

Thanks for the update and resolution, much appreciated.

Our team has updated Aktiv Grotesk vertical metrics to the foundry specifications (available as of 29 Feb).
Your web project(s) will need to be updated to get the new font version. Instructions on that:

This is the response received after reaching out to the font foundry/creator:
What you've described is an issue we are aware of; a general summary of the problem is that Adobe is changing the vertical metrics of the fonts we submit to them. We are assuming that this is something which happens automatically on their system during the submission process.
Our team are currently in talks with Adobe on fixing this and hope to have it resolved very soon, though the ball is very much in Adobe's court with this, so I am unable to provide a time estimate; you will need to get back in touch with Adobe.
It's also worth noting that Adobe do not update our font library as promptly as we do should an issue be discovered or a new script supported.
