Thank you! I'll give it a try!

In point mode, right-click and select Round XY Coordinates if you want to round coordinates values while designing your outlines. I've tried this and now moving the outlines doesn't cause the described issue. Can you send the project file to us? Yes, I'll send it via email. As I said, the screensho...

Open the Validation Toolbar and fix any issues. Try right-click, optimise. Thank you very much, optimize works more ore less. It sometimes changes the outline in a not desired way though. If the outline is tiny (e.g. only a few units in height or width), then this can happen as fonts use rounded va...

There's something strange going on when I'm moving outlines. I imported a letter made in Corel Draw and it showed fine with no faulty points. But then I moved it to its correct place and suddenly a red point appeared and part of the previously smooth outline was cut off. weird1.jpg Just moving it to...

That's great news! I'll download it right away!
Thanks a lot!

Yes, that is a bug. We'll have it fixed with the next upcoming release. Is there a chance that there will be a release with this bug fix anytime soon? I've been working with glyph positioning quite a lot recently and it's disturbing to not get a correct preview. It would be great to get that fixed!

Thank you! I think your last suggestion will be the most useful for me. I'll try that out.

Hi! I noticed a strange thing with my composites. Using "Complete Composites" worked fine at first. But since I made them I've added lots of characters from the Private Use Area for my syllable bows, and now I found out by accident that klicking "Complete Composites" no longer us...

Okay, thanks for the info!

I assume that the caret is the bow and the 11, 10, etc that goes along with the caret is the various lengths? Sp ^11 and ^10 are bows of differing lengths? No, the caret is not the bow. There are lots of characters with bows in different lengths. But yes, the numbers are for the length. This is sim...

Hmm. It would seem to me that one value is fighting another both X values being a negative). No, I don't think so. One value handles the left side of the letter, the other one the right side. So I would rather say, if I want to move both the letter itself and the following letter to the same direct...

YAY, it works!!! Thank you soooooo much! :P I wasn't even doing so bad, I had done just one thing wrong. There's one thing that's a little confusing though and to me this looks like a bug. There's something not working right with the XPlacement value. Here it is with all values at 0. I want to corre...

Can somebody explain to me how this feature works and how to use it? I don't really understand it and just can't get it to do what I want. Basically that would be changing the X position of the last character in a row of three.

That would be great.
Thanks for trying to help anyway!

I thought about that too at first, but then those pairs would always be kernend, even in words that don't need kerning. Like BA-NA-NA. What I'd need is a way to for instance position the V in combinations like A-Bow-V. There's this feature, chained context positioning. I just don't really understand...
