Hello! My name is Gaspar Muñoz, from Chile. sorry for not using my name on my nickmane, i forgot when i signed up :smile.
I have a question about how to superimpose the glyphs at the time of writing. For this example I used color font in FontLab7, but the interface is somewhat complicated to understand, can Glyphs or other software perform this same action? I will be attentive to any comment. Greetings to all and take care.

Toshi Omagari has a tutorial on his GitHub here: https://github.com/Tosche/Pixel-Color-Font-with-Glyphs
It’s meant for his pixel pen tool, but the principle can be transferred.
That way you have one color font instead of three coloured fonts that need to overlap.
I’m not exactly sure about the metrics though. So far I have the master layer spaced and the coloured layers underneath have a different spacing, but in the end when I test install it and try it the metrics from the master layer are applied. I’m not sure if it’s a good way, but so far I haven’t encountered any problems.
Thanks to all, I was able to achieve it in Glyphs, thanks to this Script https://github.com/mekkablue/Glyphs-Scripts (Color Font-Convert Layerfont to CPAL+COLR Font.py)
instances, add a "Color Layers to SVG" and a "Export SVG Table".
