Problem with left bearing at 0 fixed point.

Post by Sarah »

This is a problem if you make a composite glyph.
When sizing using the scale, the left bearing point is fixed at 0,
it will be different from the shape of the glyph I intended. (There was no problem with this because the left bearing was not fixed until Fontcreator version 13.)

Below is an example. I want to use the right corner as a reference point when I use the scale.
Then it should look like a blue letter, but because the left bearing value is fixed, the glyph is automatically resized based on the left.
Then it's not made the way I intended it to be and the 'a' glyph goes out of the 'circle'.

This is a second example.
Increasing the left bearing spacing of the member will distort a composite glyph.
This is also the same problem because the left axis is fixed.

When I work, I have a hard time because of this part
I'm still using version 13.T_T
I hope this part will be updated again like the version 13 or less.

Or is there any way to solve this problem?

I moved this topic to support, as it looks like a problem with understanding the glyph alignment feature.

I understand this might have worked in an earlier release, but with recent improvements, some things just work a little different.

Would auto attach with a center anchor work?
