Font Forum

Thank you for all your suggestions so far. For the next couple of weeks we will keep an eye on this topic, and we hope more people will come up with some good ideas. We will then decide if it is worth the time to further improve on anchors.

Consider it done!

You are right, the software is not old. I just prefer to focus on the latest release. I understand we must continue to support older versions at some degree though.

Maybe it should just say: Same with mark-to-mark, mark-to-ligature, cursive attachment, and pair positioning.

I have no idea. Too long ago to remember, and not worth it to investigate.

I was hoping you could come up with something better. Please describe the current process of adding anchors, so we might be able to take this to the next level.

This will be improved with the next upcoming update.

I understand your preference. But before we decide how to improve this, we would like to know the opinion of other people who extensively edit OpenType layout features.

The anchors are probably NULL. That means, OpenType layout features will recognize the anchor, but won't use it. In order to activate it, you need to uncheck the NULL option in the OpenType Designer. It seems you prefer the anchors to be activate as soon as you add glyphs to a anchor based positioni...

I am sorry, but we are not able to reproduce the issue. Do you have a legal version downloaded from our website?

I am glad to know that even these little improvements are appreciated

We have made several changes and improvements related to copy and paste vector based images, so upgrading to the latest version most likely solves the problem.

No worries. The option to show or hide anchors is stored in the font project, so that is why it shows as modified.

This looks good. I will take a closer look tomorrow, but I will only focus on the technical part of font design.

I think you mixed the descriptive names of the stylistic sets.

We have just released an update which includes this enhancement.
