[FIXED] Outlines distorted when open OTF fonts
[FIXED] Outlines distorted when open OTF fonts
The left tilde is from the truetype version with truetype outlines, while the right one is from opentype version, with postscript outlines.
I have trouble open a font with postscript outlines in Font Creator 8.0. Tried with 7.5 and still received such errors where outlines were distorted. The bug is no longer existed in the TTF-version of the font. I tried install the two versions and use them in photoshop, they still works well, no outlines errors. Also tried open those in Fontlab and no errors.

Re: Outlines distorted when open OTF fonts
From my tests, there could be some problems with the PostScript Export from FontCreator.
Is that how you produced your Postscript font? I think Erwin will need the FontProject file to test it.
In my test the outline of the ascii tilde acquired a few more nodes, which is not a surprise, but it's direction was reversed, which I would not expect. The curve was not distorted though.

Re: Outlines distorted when open OTF fonts
There is a bug which in rare circumstances results in malformed curves during the CFF based to TrueType based outlines conversion.
