# Compile a new glyph from a list of accents and required anchors

|
# Demo of multiple accents chaining together, or "stacking".
|
|
# For this example you need to set up a couple of things
|
|
# in your test font:
|
|
# - base glyph "a", with anchor "top" and anchor "bottom"
|
|
# - glyph "dieresis" with anchor "_top" and anchor "top"
|
|
# - glyph "acture" with anchor "_top"
|
|
# - glyph "cedilla" with anchor "_bottom"
|
|

|
|

# this is a list of tuples
|
|
# each tuple has the name of the accent as first element
|
|
# and the name of the anchor which to use as the second element

# "dieresis" connects to "a" using "top" anchor
|

# "acute" connects to dieresis, using the next "top" anchor
