When I select all my letters and attempt to adjust the side-bearings for all of them using “transform metrics”, compound glyphs like my i and Q get messed up. The inserted component portion of the letter moves to a different location than the vector portion. I’m guessing this is likely due to the fact that the inserted component has also had its side-bearings changed. How can I anchor it in the glyph so it doesn’t move around?
This is the #1 reason why you never ever mix paths and components. Recompose your glyphs using components only, attaching them with anchors. Do not attach them without automatic alignment.
For example, your i should be composed of idotless and dotaccentcomb (or dotaccentcomb.i).
