Combining diacritic overdot in wrong position

[adituriya]

When placed over the ŋ character, the combining diacritic overdot is not centered (see last character in each series below). The screenshot is from LibreOffice.

I've noticed a few other instances of this, for example placing a combining diactric acute vs. grave accent over a consonant (such as m). The grave accent is centred, but the acute is not.

Thanks for the pointer! I've added the anchors to the engs and am now regenerating the fonts.

I'm not sure why the combining acute does not match up with /m and /n. The /acutecomb glyph definitely has its «top» anchor in the right place. Glyphs also displays it in the correct location in the accent cloud on /m when I select the anchor:

What language requires these combinations, if I may ask?

Thanks for checking that. I just looked in Inkscape and the /m with acute accent is fine there, so something in LibreOffice is causing it to position incorrectly, I guess. Not a big deal for me.

I was playing with these as part of a non-standard transcription scheme for Sanskrit. I doubt you'll have many requests for it.

In some contexts there can be a rising tone on a terminal /m, which could either be transcribed using an acute or a circumflex. (Pitch accent is usually only on vowels, except in this case.)

I was playing with eng-dot as a way of notating anusvāra that is articulated in the velar position. The standard notation is ṃ or ṁ or ṅ but the place of articulation depends on the following letter. An example would be a word like saṃkalpa (pronounced saŋkalpa). ŋ is not usually used to transcribe the Sanskrit velar nasal but I prefer it over n̄.

Really love the font, thanks for fixing that very small issue!

Cool stuff! 😬 If you need a text sans to go with your work, check out Eau de Garamond... work in progress, but should already be usable.
