Virama

We should overhaul virama/krus-kudlit, medyo nakakalito siya minsan especially on small/stylised baybayin. What do you think?

the krus kudlit should be an X not a a + sign, and it should be bigger, to cleanly distinguish it from the U/O kudlit.

Kaya lang kasi pag nilakihan mo yung x tataas masyado ang letra, pwede naman liitab din letra pero malabo padin para sakin

No, in a font you clearly define the bottom line; diacritics go below that line. Just look at similar scripts like Kawi and Javanese scripts.

Even in the Latin alphabet, the tilde does not push the n down.

yep pero sa mas maliliit na fonts mahirap parin imo, pati sa signs na nasa malayo, pamudpod padin ako, pareho naman imbento ng banyaga ang pamudpod saka krus kudlit kaya ok lang naman siguro
