Importing glyphs as vectors from pdf artwork

Post by William »

Would it be possible to have a feature like the Hollow effect of the Glyph Transformer, yet that produces only one contour from each input contour, by first automatically removing the red-to-green flyback line of the input contour before hollowing?

Also, is it possible to import all eight glyphs from the pdf into FontCreator as vectors please?

Four glyphs, each displayed using a one point wide line and using a ten points wide line.

If you have FontCreator 7.5, start by creating a separate PDF file for each glyph. You can then select all eight files in Windows Explorer, drag them into FontCreator and drop them onto the first glyph in a sequence of eight in the glyph overview.
