In the majority of fonts, the 'round' letters (Q, O, C, etc.) will be slightly 
taller than straight letters. The ones you mention fall in this range. But 
sewing them out-the pull of the thread against the weave of the material can 
distort this. Pull comp adjustment helps, but if it doesn't work for each 
letter, you can 'click' on the individual letters in Design Shop window and 
adjust them to fit the material you are working on. Make sure you use the exact 
same backing, top solvy if used, and material to do all test sewouts. What 
works perfect on a pique polo may be totally screwed up on sweatshirt or 
fleece. Do a sewout first 'as is', then adjust pull comp if needed, and then 
test again. Now go back and 'stretch' the letters that need it-and run another 
test. It may take a few tests but when you get it perfect it will look great 
and worth the time.
