Description

FontForge lets you generate letters with diacritics, locking the base glyph's metrics by "Use My Metrics", and placing the diacritics on top using anchors (base-to-mark OpenType feature).

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the font-editing flow for generating glyphs, then compare the requested behavior with FontForge's metrics and anchor handling. Done means diacriticked letters can be generated with the base glyph's metrics preserved and base-to-mark positioning applied.
