Setting the width of a background component?

I’m wondering if there is a way to clip the width of a component based on the size of various glyphs.

I am working on a pixel font and I want to have a “charted” version by adding an empty chart component to each glyph, but I’d like to use one wide component for each glyph without making each glyph super wide.

I hope that makes sense. Adding an image to help explain.

That’s the job of a filter.

Thanks for your reply @mekkablue! I looked into this, but I’m not sure I understand how it would help. The glyph width is set correctly, the component is just overflowing the glyph panel, so a width transformation doesn’t make any difference as far as I understand it.

Maybe you are refferring to a different filter that I’m not aware of?

Thanks for your help!

You need to have several smaller grid components and combine them to fit the glyphs width.
