I’m making italic versions of an existing family (also created in Glyphs). When I use either Transformations > Cursify or Transformations > Slant to batch-oblique the characters, it knocks pretty much all the component glyphs out of alignment: either the base glyph jumps to the left (and snaps back into position when I remove and replace the diacritic), or both the base and the accent jump to the left. I’ve set the slant angle correctly in Font Info and am using 1/2 the x-height as the origin. Can you help?
Also: once I’ve fixed up the alignment problems, added extrema, and exported, the final OTF isn’t always recognized by Adobe apps (like Illustrator CS4), even though the otf files are sitting in the Font folder next to roman versions that work perfectly. I’ve renamed them in Font Info as per your posted instructions (which seem to work for some weights of the family but not others). I’ve cleared the font caches and restarted several times. What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks.
