Hi everyone,
I have an Oslash as a composite made from an O and slashlongcomb. The slashlongcomb is made as a simple horizontal line that is anchored in the middle of the O and then rotated as a component in the composite. But when I then try to scale the slashlongcomb component so it sticks out more, it is no longer anchored in the center, but scales from the origin point. Here are some pictures:
Why doesn’t it stick to the anchor?
What should happen if the component has multiple anchors in your opinion?
The immediate solution I can think of is to centre the glyph at the origin point.
While this is not relevant to the issue described, I would still mention that I don’t think it is a good idea to compose the Oslash like this, at least not if you have your slashlongcomb set to export. It is a combining mark (albeit exceptionally rare) and should thus follow the expected design.
I’m not sure I understand the question, but I would expect the anchors to scale and move with the component that is being transformed.
I keep the slashlongcomb non-exporting. I find this a neat way to re-use the slash because when it’s perfectly horizontal I can increase its width as a component by just transforming it horizontaly and it doesn’t distort. Then I just rotate the component. And if the anchor worked as I expect it to, then I would not have to disable the automatic alignment and everything falls into place.
Glad it works for you 
The question was which anchor should be considered the transformation origin when multiple anchors exist.
Oh, well the center of the glyph (outline) should be the transformation origin.
I’ll fix this. Hopefully with the next update.
This fix did not make the latest update? 
Don’t forget please!
