Right click to create a single off-curve point
Posted: Thu Jun 01, 2017 9:38 am
Hey, since my bug post about some of the issues I was having, I've got a fair bit of use out of FontCreator 11.
While I'm happy with it for the most part, I'm not sure why, when inserting a custom contour into a glyph, you can no longer use right-click to add a single off-curve point? The dragging to create curves is useful in some cases, but in most others, I much prefer the simplicity of placing the one point exactly where I need it.
I can appreciate that others might not, however it seems weird to have removed that functionality when a) it hasn't been replaced with any alternative action, right-clicking just does absolutely nothing now, and b) it doesn't seem like it would be incompatible with the new controls - if you create an on-curve point in the same place and then switch it to off-curve after completing the contour, the end result is exactly the same. Just with a little extra unnecessary faff.
Would like to request that right-click to add an off-curve point be re-added, unless something I've not seen prevents it.
One other (very) minor thing - it would be cool if AutoKern had the ability to kern numbers as well as the alphabet. Not really a big issue, just that "7" tends to need manual adjusting afterwards since it's got so much white space around it.
Thank you!
