Copying and pasting sharp corners

Post by johnsnape »

Is there a way to turn off rounding when pasting into FontCreator?

Here is the bar in Photoshop:

And here is after pasting into FontCreator:

These are zoomed in views of just the corners.

Not that I know of.
  • Switch to point mode
  • Select all the corner points on the left side
  • Align left
  • Select all the corner points on the right side
  • Align right
  • Use the validator to remove the redundant points

Import Image does support this. Save the image as .bmp and then select Tools -> Import Image. Set Smooth Filter to None.
