**Creating Composites in the Home Edition (contd.)**

This tutorial shows you how to make a full set of stacking fractions with composites using the copy and paste method, but first you will need to create the simple glyphs by scaling the figures.

**Stage 1**

Copy and paste the simple glyphs from stacking fractions ½ ¼ ¾ etc., to blank new glyphs. These glyphs don’t need to be mapped as they are only going to be used as composite glyph members.

**Stage 2**

Delete the unwanted contours from each glyph, and invert the six to get the nine, so that you now have the composite glyph members that you will need. One more glyph is needed for the divider.

**Stage 3**

In the glyph overview, select the composite glyph members for ½ and copy them to the clipboard.
