When you only apply Thin, the transformation reduces the stroke weight. Glyph outlines will become smaller, so you need to compensate for that. As you already noticed some parts of glyph outlines are already very thin, and will look awkward after the transform script. Those outlines require manual modifications.

This transform script includes a scale feature, which corrects the dimensions of the outlines:

Thin (42, 28) preserve bearings
Scale (106, 104) center

FontCreator comes with numerous transformation scripts, available through:
C:\Program Files\High-Logic FontCreator 14\Transform

You can also read more about the glyph transformation features here:
