soft_dotted

Ensure soft_dotted characters lose their dot when combined with marks that

replace the dot.

soft_dotted

• Applies to: TTF
• Fontspector can hotfix?: no
• Fontspector can fix sources?: no

Rationale

An accent placed on characters with a "soft dot", like i or j, causes the dot to disappear. An explicit dot above can be added where required. See "Diacritics on i and j" in Section 7.1, "Latin" in The Unicode Standard.

Characters with the Soft_Dotted property are listed in https://www.unicode.org/Public/UCD/latest/ucd/PropList.txt
