# in your test font:
# - base glyph "a", with anchor "top" and anchor "bottom"
# - glyph "dieresis" with anchor "_top" and anchor "top"
# - glyph "acture" with anchor "_top"
# - glyph "cedilla" with anchor "_bottom"

# The accents are compiled in this order, so first
# "dieresis" connects to "a" using "top" anchor
# "acute" connects to dieresis, using the next "top" anchor
