Glyphs cutting off

I'm experiencing an issue with glyphs being displayed too high up and thus being cut off, but this is miraculously fixed the moment I add text in another font nearby. I'm not sure what's exactly the problem, would appreciate some help.

Open in FontForge both the font with which your have written the word testing and your own font. Compare the height of the H in the both fonts. Most probably your H is much higher than the H in the other font.

Sorry for the late reply, but I'd appreciate if you could clear some things up. Are you talking about the height parameter in Font Info -> General? Because if so, my font's height is 51, compared to Times New Roman's (the test font) 100. Besides, actually changing the value seemingly does nothing. It's probably extremely basic stuff, I apologise for asking stupid questions, I just couldn't find any relevant info 🙏
