I NEED SOME HELP** Looking for guidance on dot alignment and diactric placement

Conrad Garner

I am submitting my font and get feedback like this:

• Regarding the uppercase diacritics, the heights not aligned. Also not centered properly in caps.
• Dot position is still different for ?, !, ¿, ¡

are there any resources or references someone can point me to that layout guidelines on how to properly do this?

Conrad Garner

Also this, • ? and ! should be aligned at the dot. Same goes for ¿ and ¡

Microsoft has some good basic info on diacritics here:

More information about diacritics can be found here:

Wikipedia also has a lot of good diacritic information. Google "wiki: diacritics" to find it.

If documentation or your QA team fail to provide examples, there are quite a few fonts, on your computer, that you can proof, which can show you quality examples of these glyphs correctly designed.
