Arabic Marks Overlap

1

I have a problem with mark positioning in an exported Arabic OTF. The /kasra-ar is overlapping with the /dotbelow-ar (for example in بِها)

The anchors are named like this:

As far as I can tell, from reading the tutorial and different forum entries, the naming of the anchors should be correct.
In a previously exported OTF (exported from Glyphs 2) the marks are not overlapping. I’m working with the latest stable version 3.1.2 (3151).

Can you try to the latest cutting edge version? Activate “Show Cutting edge versions” in Preferences > Updates.

I tested the OTF export with the latest cutting edge version 3.2 (3200), but the marks still overlap.

Can you send me the file?

Send :slight_smile:

Hey @GeorgSeifert. Did you have a chance to look at the file?

Sorry that it took so long.

I found the issue. The dotbelow component has a manually set anchorname (they are set with the anchor button in the info box). Reset it by doing “Glyph > Create Composite”.

@GeorgSeifert thanks for the help! The output looks good now :raised_hands:
