#Fontforge speed up drawing how to

Glyph style is up-right italic but unlike many. I designed & drew each glyph as single stroke before expanded it to get proper weight with FontForge then worked in detail with Inkscape. It’s machine-made family with unique stroke speed, pen shape & drawing direction especially Thai glyphs. When you select one of the points on the path, it will turn into a yellow circle. BoonJot is left-handed comic sans family (I supposed).

Switch back to the pointer tool, and you can select points on the path you have drawn. On the drawing area, click and hold, then move around to draw.

If( pointtype=pt_curve ) /* else do nothing - this would not make any sense */Īnd it seems to work okay as far as I have tested it. The Freehand tool allows you to sketch out irregular paths. (I understand the rationale for why the tangent points behave as they do, but converting to one with both control points extended is bad.) The dialog might be overkill when making a 'mass change', although the current alternative is a terrible one.

That way people who change point types this way gradually learn how to select the side (although other reviewers may have different opinions). Otherwise raise a dialog saying one control point has to be selected.Otherwise if one control point is selected, and keep that one while changing the other side to a line (or vice versa).If there is only one (non-colocated) control point, keep that side.Tangent point conversions are messed up as well. (Hmm - should one select the one that won't change or the one that will change? Hmm.) That way you have more control/options about what happens. Another potential option would be that if one control point is selected, keep that one as it is and move the other to alignment with it.(Your more accurate brute-force fitter would be good for this.) Or at least that's a pretty good starting heuristic. That way you get as close to the previous curve as possible with the new slope. When converting from corner to curve and both sides are defined, you should consider averaging the control point angles (that is, changing the angle of each an equal distance towards colinear) and then fitting each side at that slope to the previous spline.When converting from corner to curve, if the point only has one defined side the control point should stay in the same position and the 'hanging' control point, if any, should keep the same distance while moving into alignment with it.

Is it not taking effect or is the change just not desirable? It depends on what you mean by 'did not work as desired'. Huh, I thought I had filed an issue on this a few years ago but apparently not.
