Have you tried stacking horizontally? Ah ha! This is exactly what I was looking for. Didn't expect to see it under that name, though. :D Thanks!

Ahhh very nice. Thank you for letting me know!

@gferreira thank you, that's perfect. I also noticed you added a my favorite autoUnicodes() function :)

@gferreira said in Stacked Diacritical Mark Construction and Syntax Help: abrevedotbelow = a + breve@top + dotbelow@a:bottom Great! Thank you!

Good evening Frederik, Thanks for the clarification, back to building my system!

He Ian Try to add a kerning pair with the + button at the bottom. All your kerning groups, starting with a @ will be listed in the combo box see http://doc.robofont.com/documentation/workspace/metrics/kern-center/ good luck!

Hello, I made my own custom lists of glyphContructions like the one already in robofab (http://code.robofab.com/browser/trunk/Lib/robofab/tools/glyphConstruction.py). For example I have uni021B: t commaaccent.bottom in the list when I run the code everything goes fine, my glyph will be compiled, except the glyph seems to be unchaged… No changed border, no changed header. Until: I add the glyphname in fontTools.agl 021B;uni021B;TCOMMA Then everything goes like expected. Is it really necessary to doe also the agl-thing?

hi @jhera, there are multiple ways to build accented glyphs in RoboFont. these are described here: Building accented glyphs have you tried using the Glyph Construction extension? in 2019 you don’t really need anchors to position diacritics anymore :) you can still use them (with or without underscore), but you can also use guidelines, variables, vertical metrics attributes, reference positions, etc. have a look at the docs & give it a try!

its idd not working in the current build this will be working in the next update, this is scheduled soon :)
