While searching for tutorials about coloring glyphs, I found this video about FontCreator 7:

However, since I’m now using FontCreator 15, I have some questions regarding glyph coloring, especially with Arabic fonts and diacritical marks:
-
What is the practical difference between single-layer and multi-layer glyph coloring in FontCreator?
-
What is the best approach to color diacritical marks (like Fatha, Damma, Shadda) without breaking their position or causing alignment issues after exporting or when used in text?
-
How can I ensure that the colors are preserved correctly after exporting the font? Are there any specific export settings to guarantee compatibility across apps and browsers?
-
Is there any recent tutorial (preferably for version 15) that explains how to color complex or composite glyphs, with a focus on Arabic marks or Quranic symbols?
Coloring fonts still feels very tricky, especially with multi-layer glyphs and complex marks. Any practical advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
