MARK feature writing

For a wider language support, a proper mark feature is recommended.

Do you have any resources/examples for writing proper MARK features? For example to render the Yoruba name: Olúfẹ́mi***
so that the /edotbelow and the /acutecomb will be aligned. The MARK feature auto-generated by fontmake (via ufo2ft) is not doing the trick here. Any suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks!

***note: even github, on my end, is not rendering this correctly, though it does render correctly on your Pangea site https://fontwerk.com/en/fonts/pangea

Looks like the system San Franciscos don’t have a proper mark feature for Latin (at least on my system):

Pangea is created with Glyphs, which does a pretty good job converting the anchors into marks. I’ll have a look how to achieve it in other workflows!

UFO + fontmake, as shown by @arrowtype ☞ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mm7GJ39ojXI

But isn’t the font in the input field system SF? There, it seems like the mark feature is working...

[koeberlin]

Good catch! But seems just misaligned in another way

Slightly, yes. But it's hard to tell if that is an anchor misplacement, a different opinion, or mark feature issue...
