Hello Levi,

The creator of the font is responsible for such things. He should consider Simanim conflicts.

Anyway, you can fix them one by one, in the "Diacritics position" window. For example, select the Mercha and in diacritics window change its location. If it's a big file then this is an ant work, so think about buying more effective font.

Regards,

Lewi

Do you maybe know if there is an automatic way to remove the cantilation marks but leave the the other marks?

I'm sure there exists some script somewhere. Its probably really easy to make, since its just a script to delete certain glyphs from the text.

As a layman when it comes to scripts I would just "Find and Replace" each cantilation mark and replace with no text.

Or I would go to Sefaria.org and toggle the nikkud without cantilation mark button and re-copy and paste the text from there (only the text that is free for open use.)
