Please review the above font. This is the only Kannada font that uses just two glyphs, nukta, nukta.sub and enable nukta with all base letter and below form consonants (halant + consonants) successfully.

I want to achieve the same.

Base (lets say Ka ) and below form consonant (K_Ga) are positioned with Pair Adjustment
Ka with nukta
K_Ga with nukta.sub with mark to base attachment.

How do I achieve this in GlyphsApp?
Problem I am facing is
If I add “bottom” mark to Ka
“_bottom” “bot_nukta” mark to “K_Ga”
“_bot_nukta” to “nukta.sub”
Then “Ka” is being attached to “K_Ga” with mark to base attachment. I want to avoid this, similar to the way its done in Murty Font.

I got your file. It was a problem with anchor names. They where called “nukbottom” but Glyphs expect just “bottom”.
