It is designed as a regular lower case i (with the dot) and an acute accent above. Is this an actual part of Lithuanian ortography, and should it be taken into consideration when making typefaces?
“The Lithuanian letter “i” is always written with a dot above. All accented forms of “i” should also be dotted.”
I once had this explained to me by a Lithuanian who wanted it accounted for in a font. I think the solution may have been simply to have an anchor over dotted i. Also, if you have a ccmp feature that substitutes dotlessi for i before a combining mark, it should be disabled for Lithuanian.
@mekkablue That sounds doable, thanks! Maybe the first solution could be automatically generated by Glyphs when i, idotless, and any combining accents are present within the font?
