image importing

I can make a suitable vector image in Fireworks or Illustrator to use as a glyph. When I import the graphic into Font Creator 4 (I believe it must be rastor based), it is distorted with too few or too many nodes that make its curves either polygonal or scalloped. I don't know how to reproduce the image I originally created.

The import feature is not optimized. This feature will be improved in the near future. Right now you could try to use larger images or adjust the outlines manually.

Thanks for your reply, Erwin. I look forward to the update and I appreciate Font Creator and your hard work.

Speaking of which, when is the next revision set to be released, Erwin? No pressure, though.

I want to release version 4.1 as soon as I've completed the combine contours feature. I also have to update the help file and manual.

This could take a couple of weeks or even months...

After that I want to improve the import image feature.

Whoa! I can see how the combine contours could take a while.
