This is from my Sukhumala Italic font. Anchor-based positioning results in the top anchor like this:

: Anchor Pos a Italic.png (19.58 KiB) Viewed 2704 times

This would be the expected position:

: Expected Anchor Pos.png (19.6 KiB) Viewed 2704 times

I understand that the algorithm may not be able to decide on the right position, as in the case of Ohorn, Uhorn, and a few other glyphs. Is this a new problem, and can anything be done to improve the algorithm?

I am afraid if we try to fix this one, you will soon find another case that needs to be fixed. FontCreator will try to find a good position for the anchors, but it will fail with more complex outlines.

Thanks, That is what I guessed, but thought it worth mentioning.
