[FIXED] Metrics problem with complete composites

Post by _Bin_ »

Hi,

It's me again. This time I discover a problem with complete composite. When I complete composite some of the characters, the metrics got distorted as shown in the images:

This is the distorted metrics:

This is the original i:

When I preview it and export it with FontCreator it got no problem. But when I convert it into TTF to use for webfont (using another software) it got metric problem exactly like the Image 1.
I tried with many fonts (other's fonts too but just for education/testing program purpose), the problem is still there. I notice that the lowercase dcroat, i with accents usually have this problem.

Maybe I understand what goes wrong. Do you export with CFF outlines?

Can you send me the font project file so I can look into the problem?

I can confirm the issue. I think we can fix it without causing damage to the font project files, but we'll need some time to look into this.
