Re: [Silgraphite-fonts] Problems with attaching a reordered vowel sign to its base

The problem arises because you do not sufficient specify how the attachment should occur. You only specify that the vowel should attach to the consonant, but you do not say where the attachment should occur. Where no attachment position is specified, the assumption is that the child is sequentially positioned after the parent. If you change your attaching rule to this:

gVS_AI { attach { to=@2; with=point(advance.x, 0m); at=point(0m, 0m)} } clsCons;

You will find that it works just fine.

Alternatively, you could always attach the consonant the vowel ;)

Yours,
