From time to time there have been questions about using open contours, so I made a font with a minimal amount of glyphs to demonstrate what is involved.
I made triangles then deleted one point to get 2 point contours. They show up, but there is no information there to allow mappers to activate pixels.
I guess in a way they could be considered “closed contours” with no thickness …
There are a FEW Validation problems, EVERY point is red, but what the hay!
Interesting, but not useful.
Does it print?
No.
Joe.
You two have said it all!
Hmmm must be in the font… Some time ago this font came around and while it’s of marginal utility – muchly due to the content, I was puzzled tonight with whether it prints or not. And this one does! Got it to print within FC either from an Edit window or from the main screen. It was too light to print from my separate charmapper.
I also printed it from Snagit/The Font Thing –
Funny too shows it is hinted!
ps. Don’t validate it or it goes away…
I went back and removed the hinting tables and SURE ENOUGH it was no longer (as) printable…
