Does xelatex honor anchors in GPOS tables of otf/ttf fonts? If I try
to place, say, a macron above an 'a' as well as a dot below it one of
the two diacritical marks is always misplaced; depending on the oder
of xelatex commands:
\d{\={a}} dot misplaced
\={\d{a}} macron misplaced
This has been treated before (but I forget when on this list) --- you
can achieve what I think you desire with this definition in your preamble:
%put accent (or whatever) over glyph
\def\overstrike#1#2{\leavevmode
\setbox0=\hbox{#1}\setbox1=\hbox{#2}\copy0
\kern -0.5\wd0 \kern -0.5\wd1 \copy1 \kern -0.5\wd1 \kern 0.5\wd0}
And then here's an example in the document:
\overstrike{\d{a}}{¯}
