Re: [fontforge-users] How to ignore open contours

[Alireza A. <ali...@gm...>]

Hi Bob

I don't know you have used Expand Stroke or not. You can draw your open
path and using Expand Stroke__ you can access it from Element in toolbar__
convert it to a close path. Also I think it is better to search about this
fact the do TrueType or OpenType support open paths?

Link for Expand Stroke: https://fontforge.github.io/elementmenu.html#Expand

Kind regards,
Alireza Alipour
