easy glyph creation on the fly in glyph window

[kenproulx]

in the next release, it would be great for there to be a quill or calligraphy tool with different types of pens/quills that the user would employe inside the glyph window to quickly and easily draw the glyph/character. it's great to have the point-by-point control for tweaking and fine tuning, but it would be nice to just pick a pen type, tip width and behavior, and use a pen tablet or mouse to draw the glyph real-time in the program. then, if one wished so, one could switch to another mode and edit the points.

I agree, this would be a nice enhancement. For now I suggest you use dedicated image editing software like Adobe Illustrator, Corel Paint Shop Pro, or Inkscape. Paint.NET can be used as well, but is less sophisticated.

I agree too - a freehand tool would be really great, especially with a graphics tablet. Though the quicker image import in v6 makes it easier to quickly construct a face from glyphs drawn in external apps.
