Anchor Overlay Tool

===================

![](screenshot.png)

Just another way to add anchors and preview accent positions in RoboFont. Installs as a tool in the glyph window toolbar.

* Anchor placement: Double-click anywhere to place an anchor. The anchors are named automatically based on the click position (top, center, bottomRight, etc.)

* Alignment assistance: Select one or more anchors or points and use the alignment buttons

Menu additions:

* *Recompose Selected Glyphs* (ctrl-cmd-R): Reposition components in current or selected glyphs based on anchor positions.

* *Export Anchor Table (CSV)*: Export all anchor names and positions for open UFOs as comma-separated text file. This helps comparing position consistency across the font family and noticing any missing anchors.
