I need to change it only for one font, but globally, since it seems to sit too high

you can override one or more [font-face descriptors](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@font-face#descriptors). which descriptor to override, i don't know, but you can look up the documentation of each of them and see which one suits your use case.
for example i have this in one of my app to change the font-size of the local font since the default font-size is too big:

const mono = localFont({
src: [
{ path: "../../.fonts/ia-writer-mono/regular.woff2", weight: "normal", style: "normal" },
{ path: "../../.fonts/ia-writer-mono/bold.woff2", weight: "bold", style: "normal" },
{ path: "../../.fonts/ia-writer-mono/italic.woff2", weight: "normal", style: "italic" },
{ path: "../../.fonts/ia-writer-mono/bolditalic.woff2", weight: "bold", style: "italic" },
],
display: "swap",
declarations: [{ prop: "size-adjust", value: "90%" }],
variable: "--mono",
adjustFontFallback: false,
});feel like [line-gap-override](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@font-face/line-gap-override) is a good fit, play around with it
it's not supported in safari though which is a bit unfortunate

i tried
on chrome, but nothing changes...
declarations: [
{
prop: 'ascent-override',
value: '85%'
},
{
prop: 'descent-override',
value: '15%'
},
{
prop: 'line-gap-override',
value: '0%'
}
]on chrome, but nothing changes...
welp, seems like it's not possible then. you have to invent a new css class like
and use it in your application instead of using
.font-myfont-resized {
font-family: var("--font-myfont");
line-height: .8;
}and use it in your application instead of using
var("--font-myfont") directly
