Hi all
Operation before offset printing: This photo is taken from a plate in lithography. The dots of some letters are moved. how can I fix this?
Are those dots composites of composites? If so, maybe the Unnest Components filter used as a custom parameter at export can fix the problem.

No Jens. The strange thing is that in some word dot is Ok and in other word they are shifted. It is not always the same.

Any help guys?
Are you sure that these are not nested components? Can you show a screenshot of your setup in Glyphs?
Is this nested? 2 component in one glyph
first pic is Beh and dot moved and second is Teh and dot is Ok
you see? just dot position is changed
Do the dot components contain components? Can you show the contents of the dot components?
Are the components scaled/transformed in any way?
Yes . Dot contain component
In first pic Beh No but in second pic Teh dot saled
In Teh dot contain 2 component but all same
This is called nested components, as Jens pointed out. “Nested” means that there are components contained inside components (multi-level components, so to speak).
Follow Jens’ instructions and add the Unnest Components filter to your export.
