[FIXED] Outline scripts don't work as expected in FontCreator 15

Hi,

I tried to use Glyph Transformer to convert a usual font glyph to its outline.
I expected that the Outline scripts should generate a copy of existing contour and make it a bit less to form an outline shape.
And it seems that any of 4 Outline scripts don't give an expected result: there's no new contour and the existing one just got bigger.
Seems like the Hollow feature doesn't work properly.
What I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.

There seems to be a bug here with the Hollow transformation.

That seems to work as expected.
