Default position for ogonek anchor

[dadastudio (Michał Jarociński)]

Hi guys,

Request from Polish community
wouldn’t it be better to set default position for ogonek anchor to 0 not 10? I have to manually lower it after hitting Set Anchors…

Best,
Michał

You can change this by editing your GlyphData.xml file.

Hello, I am trying to customise some glyph composition and anchor setups. For example, I would like to set the ogonek anchor position to the rightmost baseline position for my glyph idotless. I am able to define ogonek@Baseline, but that centers the anchor in the middle. Is there some way I can get the anchor to be set to a custom (relative) x position as well? This would be fantastic. Thanks! Maybe an identical question: I would like to do the same for anchors like topleft, bottomright, etc. –…

I kind of did that position on purpose. A slightly off position forces the user move it to the right place. The ogonek anchor has very specific locations in different glyphs and that can’t really be automated. But that is more true for the round letters like “e” and “u”, not so much for “a” and “i”. (at least I usually place the ogonek anchor slightly above the baseline in the round letters).

Thanks for this. I modified xml file and now I have what I always wanted!

Can you post you modifications? I totally forgot that we have those anchor recipes.
