Hello,

How could I convert corner to curve in Variable font? You know the deleted nodes is a problem.

Thanks

1. Select all four nodes
2. Use shortcut "a" twice to add two on-curve nodes on each side
3. Use the Align menu to align nodes on facing sides
4. Use the cursor keys (+ Shift or Ctrl) to move the pairs of nodes as needed
5. Convert the four corner nodes to off-curve

You can also do it just using the shortcuts for next/previous node (QW), on and off-curve (OF), add node (A) and delete node (delete). For a smoother, large corner, use two off-curve nodes.

Hi BP
Thank you, It is understood, Is that working when you make a variable font... I mean for example could I convert square shap to circle shape smoothly without any problem? I will try.

Hi,
square have 4 nodes while round corners square have 6 nodes.... this nodes should overlap (square) when making a variable font... i think this issue need a development to let FontCreator handled it (for example duplicate corner nodes by using right click list).
