How to make a font that is "taller" than another font?

I want to make a font that has long descenders relative to standard latin fonts.

For example, Zapfino 14 is a heck of a lot taller than Helvetica 14.

What levers do I pull in fontforge to achieve this? Thanks!

Figured it out, sorry for the noise. (Just had to set the em box to be much shorter than the actual glyph content.)
