You need to remove the marks. I had a script that could do that, somewhere.

I added it to GitHub: https://github.com/schriftgestalt/Glyphs-Scripts/blob/master/Helper/Separate%20Letters%20and%20Marks.py

Type or paste your text in Edit view, run the script.

Or do you need help installing it? Move it into the Scripts folder that appears when you choose Script > Open Scripts Folder. Then reload the scripts with Script > Reload Scripts (hold down the Option key).
