How to increase the maximum height of a glyph?

This time, I brought some prints to explain what I mean by that. My font has accented letters, but if I put an accent like this, it will collide with the previous line's letters.

And since it's based on the medieval chancery script, the letters may descend way lower than modern letters. As an example, I'm showing you the letters p, q, x, w, y, z and ç.

So I'm searching for a way so that letters do not collide, making it easier to read. I tried increasing ascending and descending height on font info, but it didn't work properly. Is there any way to help me with this?

EDIT: I discovered what the problem actually was: FontForge was scaling my glyph so it could maintain the same size as before. I just needed to use CTRL A + CTRL Z to get them in their previous size, but with the new maximum height. Thank you for everything.

How do I increase maximum height of a glyph?

I want to increase the maximum size of a glyph so I can make bigger glyphs, but I'm not able to. I tried changing the ascending and descending heights, but it didn't change a thing.

How do I make characters with a consistent weight?

I'm making my first font and I cannot seem to be able to make characters with a consistent size using inkscape and then sending it to font forge (even though they look like the same weight and height, once I put it on forge forge they aren't anymore. Also, for some reason, I cannot make the descending or ascending line bigger like I was able to months ago. Could you help me with this?
