Exclamation Increase font to the same size as another?

I have several fonts on the Kindle Oasis, but I have a problem, there is one that I really like: “OrigGarmnd BT” but it is too small, and if I increase it one point it is too big, I would like it to have the same size as the font Bookerly. Or increase it a bit, but I don't know how to do it, any ideas?
I have the Fontlab program, but I don't really know how it works and I don't know if I can copy all the Bookerly features or measurements to paste them into OrigGarmnd BT.

With Calibre I have tried to change the font size when converting the epub to AZW3, but it doesn't change anything, it has the same size as always.

You could use the FONT_RAMP hack (customized font sizes). Works only with the AZW3 format, not with MOBI or KFX.

The instructions are here:

Thumbs up

This other post also helped me.

I made my own FONT_RAMP but I didn't like the result, and after searching and trying other configurations from other users, for the moment I stick with this one that I saw elsewhere.

Thumbs up ¿FONT_RAMP or enlarge Font?

After doing several checks, I find it more comfortable to enlarge the font, but I do not rule out using the file again FONT_RAMP.
And I found a tutorial on how to use the FontForge program to increase the font, I installed it but how it gave me an error, I tried again with the FontLab 8, and finally I managed to increase by 110% (115% is too much).
In case anyone is interested I put the steps I did (I have not touched anything else and I do not know if my method is correct, but since I am doing well like this, for me it is already fine). On YouTube there are tutorials for the two programs.

Open FonLab 8,

open font --> Edit --> Select All

right-click on any letter --> Actions

In new window scale Horizontal 115% Vertical 115% and clik Run, clik Ok.

File --> Font info (if you want rename) Apply, Ok

File --> Export Layer As Open Type TT

I've added the font in case anyone wants to use it. You might like it

Sorry, I made a mistake in the post above, it was 110%.

I did another test, inserted the file FONT_RAMP, and re-edited the size now at 105%, now it's okay ¬¬.

I found some errors while reading. With the line of text split in half. I have returned to the original source (the .zip in the previous post this font is increased by 110%, it can be found the original on the net). I will keep testing with the FONT_RAMP file, until I learn how to use FontForge or FonLab
