Is there an explanation of this anywhere? There is very little detail in the FontCreator Help about what ‘Complete Composites’ is, and what it does.

There is more explanation and how to edit CompositeData.xml in the Complete Composites Tutorial thread.

Since it is something that few will need to do, it is not included in the Help file, but the Help file includes links to the Tutorials Page, where you will find a list of links to tutorials on advanced features.

This is the relevant code in CompositesData.xml

<Composite><!-- Mid-dot -->
<GlyphMapping>183</GlyphMapping>
<InheritAdvanceWidth>32</InheritAdvanceWidth>
<InheritLSB>46</InheritLSB>
	<Member id="1">
	<GlyphMapping>46</GlyphMapping>
		<XScale>0.85</XScale>
		<YScale>0.85</YScale>
	</Member>
	<AlignVertical>
		<Source>
			<Position>CapHeight</Position>
			<Offset>-50%</Offset>
		</Source>
		<Dest>
			<Member>1</Member>
			<Position>Middle</Position>
		</Dest>
	</AlignVertical>
	</Composite>

It is very user-friendly, so I think you can work out what it does. As with all code, syntax is crucial. Make backups before meddling with the file, which is found in the installation folder\Composites\ subfolder.
