Re: [fontforge-users] Composite small caps

  You also have the option of replacing the spline with one that you 
want, producing the composites, unlinking the reference, then changing 
it back

I don't understand the procedure you're suggesting here.

Otherwise, the glyphs are all present in the correct slots.

I use anchors for positioning: that's why using mark .sc allows me to 
place them in more appropriate locations.

The mysterious fact remains that, among other things, the breve.sc and 
macron.sc glyphs are both present, placed in the correct slots, but one 
is used and the other is not...

Thanks!
