I’m surprised I haven’t noticed this before. If I use Glyph > Create Composite on a glyph that currently has paths, it clears the paths but leaves behind all the other junk. Maybe it’s intentional but I can’t imagine why anyone would want to keep the anchors and disconnected caps/corners? I would prefer if those were removed too, like the paths.
Which build number of Glyphs are you using? 3246?
I get this all the time too. Since a few versions, but also 3246.
I forgot to mention, this is on the latest stable (3151). But I’m also seeing the same issue in 3246.
I can’t reproduce this. Can you send me a font where that happens?
I can reproduce it in a new file with 3 glyphs (1 letter, 1 mark, 1 precomposed).
create-composite-test.glyphs (2.6 KB)
Open the icircumflex glyph in the above test file:
Then select Glyph > Create Composite, which will give you this result:
Are you sure you can reproduce it in the latest cutting edge version?
The anchors were never removed.
Yes. The anchors should be removed, right? You’re rebuilding the glyph essentially, so I wouldn’t expect any remnants to be preserved from the previous glyph.
Yes. I’ll fix that.
