Just a quick follow up: Does anyone know how I could approach/solve this problem? Or do I just have to wait for a font update?

maybe

\definefontfeature[default][default][compose=yes]

at the top of the file works

Best,

*Betreff:* K with combining macron below

Hi,

I’m trying to use a k with a bar/line below: ḵ. The problem is that my font (Cardo) doesn’t seem to have this character in a precombined version. So, I need to combine the letter with the combining macron below: https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+0331 <https:// www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+0331>

While this works with the default font, with Cardo the result looks off, i.e., the macron is not placed centered under the letter, but slightly to the right. How can I get the correct placement of the macron?

Best,

Denis
