Color font support? #41

I use Crowbar a lot to debug FRB American Cursive+Print…

This image of the nonsense string "Ö́̆ḧ" helped me track down what I need to do about stroke numbers being sucked in by the gravity of bases and not adhering to that of marks:

The answer is—more careful use of mark filtering sets, for the curious. Not what this issue is about for sure. :)

How would color glyphs interact with the colors that Crowbar sets?

Good question. I guess it'd need to use a semi-opaque bounding box.
