I am using Vivaldi, which is also Chrome-based.
Edit: The download page now shows the 64-bit version as the default.

Re: [FIXED] From some characters not make composite characters
This is update much better, but there are some issues. I can change anchor position manually but I cannot save my new anchor positions. "hcaron" character's caron not centered but it should be. "kcaron" has a same problem. The algorithm want to "onehalf" but has not succeed. The algorithm do not want to "onequarter" and "threequarters" that is weird.

You need to edit the anchor position on the h, not on the caron accent.

Re: [FIXED] From some characters not make composite characters
The anchors should be stored if you save your font project. They might be lost if you export as TrueType/OpenType font, but only if the anchors are not used in your OpenType layout features.LisanAlGaib wrote: ↑Wed Nov 22, 2023 6:32 pm This is update much better, but there are some issues.

Here it also changes sometimes, so I have now removed the server-side check and just hard-coded the preferred 64-bit edition. Nowadays most Windows versions run on 64-bit I suppose.Bhikkhu Pesala wrote: ↑Wed Nov 22, 2023 4:58 pm I am using Vivaldi, which is also Chrome-based.

Re: [FIXED] From some characters not make composite characters
It should be works like you said but I haven't experienced this. In my project I change manually anchor coordinates but project save not store the changed anchor coordinates.

Re: [FIXED] From some characters not make composite characters
If k cedilla (comma) is composed with the Complete Composites method, the following code will be used:
If anchor-based composition is used, the top anchor position on the lowercase k will be used.
If the position of the k top anchor is modified, the position of the accent will change to match, and the change will be saved in the project file. It is personal design decision whether to centre the accent over the stem, or over the glyph. What looks best will depend on the font design. A wide caron accent may clash with adjacent glyphs, for example, then centring the accent over the glyph will be a better choice.
Code: Select all
<Composite><!-- k cedilla (comma) -->
<GlyphMapping>311</GlyphMapping>
<Member id="1">
<GlyphMapping>107</GlyphMapping>
<UseMetrics>TRUE</UseMetrics>
</Member>
<Member id="2">
<GlyphMapping>806</GlyphMapping>
<Pos>Auto</Pos>
</Member>
</Composite>

Re: [FIXED] From some characters not make composite characters
As I said earlier, change the position of the anchor on the k, not on the accent, and why are you using doubleacute.comb for k cedilla?

Re: [FIXED] From some characters not make composite characters
Do you understand my problem? My problem is that I want to change manually anchor coordinates and save them and after that use make composite with automatic method. But the software don't care that I changed an anchor coordinates or not save my changes. This is my problem.

If you are moving anchors, use anchor-based glyph composition.

Re: [FIXED] From some characters not make composite characters
If I have a stylistics set I have a "middledot" a "L" and a "l" character in this stylistics set when push the button "make composite" nothing happens. I want to make "Lmiddledot" and "lmiddledot" characters with this function in my stylistics sets.

Use Complete Composites for this. A definition exists in CompositeData.xml.
Code: Select all

Re: [FIXED] From some characters not make composite characters
I want to use "make complete composite". There are four options to do the job. I want to use an option because I use option and after I use another option can override the first option's result. Today I have been used anchor-based complete composite after I have been use auto complete composite. Anchor-based make the job but auto override my saved anchors. You advice to me I use a different option? Why? I don't think this a good idea. I think some lines missing from the software's code to do the job one option correctly. Why I think that? Because the software make the job correctly with many different characters with many accents or diactritics in my stylistic sets.
