Hi, so several glyphs which are generated with idotless seem to be trying to refer to dotlessi. But as this glyph cannot be created (when I try to create a dotlessi, it changes its name to the new idotless). So I get ‘no base glyphs’ issues on these.
Thanks for any tips!

Reattach your link and anchor to new named glyph
Where did those components came from?
Thanks for the replies! I think I’m maybe too much of a beginner to fully understand both answers.
@GeorgSeifert – Not sure if this helps but I am trying to generate icircumflex, idieresis, imacron, and iogonek. The dotless i exists (as idotless) but is displayed as missing in these glyphs. Each of them seem to be “looking for” dotlessi.
What I meant is: how did you produce those components?
In most cases you should be fine by just running “Glyph > Create Composite” in those glyphs (e.g. imacron).
Ah ok. I generated them under language, in this case Pinyin. I can add a component (idotless) and it shows, but it still displays the no base glyph error triangle.
Select them and choose Glyph > Create Composite. The composites will be rebuilt with the default recipe, and that will pick idotless as the base glyph.
While you’re at it, uncheck File > Font Info > Other > Use Custom Naming. then select all glyphs in your font and choose Glyph > Update Glyph Info.
Thanks a lot! It seems like I don’t have these options though, but perhaps Make component glyph does the same? It seems to work. The version of my glyphs is Version 2.6.5 (1342)
