composite character

[Athanasios Valais]

Hello,

I would like to write the imacron with
Lout. I read [& re-read] the expert manual
to find the best way to overstrike the
dotlessi and the macron, but in the end
decided to create a composite in the AFM.

I added the following lines into the
correct locations of the AFM file:

C  -1 ; WX  280 ; N imacron ; B   34    0  299  737 ;
StartComposites 1
CC imacron 2 ; PCC dotlessi 0 0 ; PCC macron -27 0 ;
EndComposites

... and the following to the LCM file:

031     037     imacron

I called it within lout using:

@Char{imacron} and {"\037"}

Now, it appears that Lout leaves the correct
space for the character but that it is not
displayed.

Has anyone come across this problem?

Thanks,

Arthur
