Anchor Mover doesn’t work for small-caps

[clauseggers]

For some unknown reason the Anchor Mover doesn’t work for small-caps. I have small-caps set in the font info vertical metrics.

Today I got some error loggin at least

Processing 1 glyph...

Done.

Your code for deriving small-caps metrics is kaput. I have the value set in each master, and using other metrics in the script works fine.

Caught it on video. I’ve attached the video and the state of the Glyphs file.

I think I just spotted the reason. The glyph in question is not named *.smcp and this ‘breaks’ your script. It works fine in glyphs named *.smcp. I’ll rename my components.

It gets stranger. The Italic component glyph does have the small-caps metrics displayed in the edit window, whereas the Roman for some unknown reason does not.

Can you click on the "Smallcaps" and screenshot the resulting dialog?

[clauseggers]

Oh, that is new to me. They are different, but what should the correct settings be?

I removed the small cap option from the code for now, it is not compatible with G3+. Will need to rewrite with a metrics scan of the file.
