To create the composited glyph uni4E00 in your first post, you could create a script to insert the glyph uni4E00 and complete composites based on HZ0001 and PY1087.

Insert Glyph and Compose.png

The definition for that would have to be added to the CompositeData.xml file.

Code: Select all

<Composite>
	<GlyphName>uni4E000</GlyphName>
	<Member id="1">
	<GlyphName>HZ0001</GlyphName>
	</Member>
	<Member id="2">
	<GlyphName>PY1087</GlyphName>
	<InheritLSB>TRUE</InheritLSB>
	<InheritRSB>TRUE</InheritRSB>
	</Member>
</Composite>

XML coding is quite powerful, but like all coding requires great care. Just one small typo in CompositeData.xml can break the Complete Composites feature. Keep backups when editing it and read the PDF Tutorial to understand the correct syntax.
