Hi there, I have a question on positioning.
I have a font with 4 masters,
Light / Bold
Light Italic / Bold Italic
Btw, this font is uni-width with Link Metrics With First Master modifier turned on for all masters, but i think that does not cause the issue, but i might be mistaken. Related topic I started is here
In this font I have few components, that do not get slanted with italics, only weight is modified.
These components have always the same width e.g; 1500 width, 100pt on each sidebearing in upright.
When i copy this path to italics, obviously, the sidebearings change, but i would expect, that if it stays on center, (width still 1500 but sidebearings 16pt each) the component would be centered. But this is not the case.
Every time i use the component in other glyph, the italics version is shifted slightly to the right.
I found out, that if i shift the origin -40 pts to the left, then it appears to not change relatively to upright version.
My goal is to have component that gets automatically aligned and stays in the same place for all masters.
Is there a fix to that, do I have to just shift the origin -40pts?
Does anybody know if this is the correct behaviour?
Thanks for any help!
