Anchors don't work

Hello,

I would like to build an automatically-aligning serif for certain letters. I have defined an anchor named _connect in the component _part.serifTop.alt, as well as an anchor named connect in the letter i.alt. When I add the component, it is not automatically aligned to the letter. Automatic alignment is enabled in my font.

Thank you

Anchors only work between components. You need to put the stem in its own glyph and use a component in the ā€˜iā€™.

Or you could use corner components: https://www.glyphsapp.com/tutorials/reusing-shapes-corner-components
