Creating Composites and Ligatures
To create real composite glyphs from the base and accent glyphs use
the Generate glyphs... command from the Glyph menu:
In the dialog box enter the composite name using the simple syntax:
[base glyph name]+[mark glyph name]
for example:
C+caron A+dieresis
You may enter more than one name separated by a space or colon.
With the same dialog box you may create ligature glyphs, like “fl, ffl” or
others. Just enter the name of the ligature using the simple syntax:
[first component name]_[second component name]_[third component name]_[...]
For example:
f_l, f_i, c_t
