Re: [Fontforge-users] Use crossing lines or planar glyph?

[Jason P. <zi...@gm...>]

When you have crossing elements in a glyph you adjust them to make
them look right. Whever way you go, you'll have to print it out at the
size you intend for the letter's primary use and go with what your
eyes tell you.

Due to the way the brain processes images, vertically symmetrical
shapes sometimes appear top-heavy, and crossing lines appear to have
different angles or thicknesses than they actually do. If it looks
off, you have to compensate for that in the design.
