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

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
