Hi, nice font! The biggest issue with your fonts is that they are small
compared to their EM size (1000).
You can simply magnify them with Edit-->Select --> Glyphs Worth Ouputting,
then Element-->Transformations-->Transform-->Scale Uniformely... and apply a
factor of 175%.

This will change your left side and right bearing values so I would set them
back arbitrarly to 6 (or whatever you like in Metrics-->Set Both
Bearings...). You will also need to adjust the kerning after that.

The line spacing (in Font Info-->OS2-->Metrics tab) can further be
customized as per these instructions in Design with FontForge - Line
Spacing <http://designwithfontforge.com/en-US/Line_Spacing.html>
