Where is anchor information stored (FontForge)?

Mikomasr

Hello,

I created several anchor classes (to apply cursive positioning to my font), but ended up using only one class. Yet in the anchor menu, I still see the old anchor classes I want to get rid of, as follows:

I only want cursive. How do I get rid of Ancre-1, Ancre-0, L, G, ES?

I have checked all my glyphs, and none contains anchors other than "cursive" anchors...

Thanks!

It’s getting worse: anchors are multiplying by themselves! I now have 4 different anchor classes on all my glyphs, and if I delete any of them, the cursive attachment feature stops working.

This seems to happen whenever I save my lookups as an .fea file, then edit the .fea file outside of FontForge, then merge it again. Every time I do this, new anchors pop up...

Yet I make sure to always delete all my lookups before merging my external .fea file.

Any idea what causes this?

Thanks!

It might help if you mention what app you are using. Glyphs? Robofont? FontLab? etc.

I’m using Fontforge. Thanks!

This sounds like a bug. If I were you, I’d file an issue on https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge.
