From Vector to Single Stroke Font

Hi, new to the forum and working on my first font. Since this post was written in 2009 and updated in 2012 I was wondering if there is any update on a feature to support strokes in the last couple of year?

I am attempting to use a CMC machine to write a caligraphy style font, but because of how I want it to look, it has to be a single stroke. The macine software actually comes with a few single line fonts, but all are very simple blocky fonts. They are .FF files, and I can’t seem to find anything online about FF files online, only that it is associated with “AGFA CompuGraphics Outline Font Description”. None of the font programs I’ve tried seem to offer this .FF extension. They can’t be installed to windows and will only work within the machine’s software. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am pretty sure that nothing has changed. FontCreator does now export CFF Postscript outlines, but the internal format is the same Truetype Curves.

See this earlier thread on Single Line Fonts

The attached font is a single line font created using the method described by Dave Crosby in the linked thread. Only the Capital letter I has been created. It looks blank in the glyph overview, but it contains 13 contours, each with 2 nodes.
