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

[Bob V. <b.v...@ou...>]

I tried to change the stroke type, but unfortunately it did not work.
And I only want to change the width of the "space" character,
so I don't want to put too much more effort in it.

At this time I'm contacting the developers of the software I got the original font from,
awaiting their response and if they can help me out somehow.

Thanks to all for the support!


Kind Regards,
Bob Vandevliet

Hi Bob

Take a look at following issue on GitHub:

Yes it works, I exported the font (with the endpoints connected though) and it worked perfectly, except ofc the endpoints were connected.

I thought about phyton script, but for the small change I want to make, it is not worth the effort. And I have no idea how to do it.

Yes, good idea to ask the developers how they made the font or if they are willing to make a copy including my desired modification.

Thanks.

Kr,
Bob

I’m sure there’s someone who can do that over Python…

But my main doubt was actually if a font generated by FF will work with that application you’ve got.
They are using fonts with different file name extensions, so quite a different story I’m sure.

Have you asked the developers how such fonts can be edited? They must get them from somewhere…

The double-curve thing seems to be no problem, if you read the text on that page.

It is work, yes…

Thanks, that's a smart workaround, but I don't want to do that for the whole bunch of characters. And I think it is not a solution because I expect this giving errors for my purpose since its all double curves.

Kr,
Bob

That gives a different picture indeed!

Here’s something that sounds like a good work-around:

If I understand it correctly, the trick is to duplicate the open path and connect the two halves, then move the duplicate half back right on top of the original half.
