[FIXED] Joining cubic contours makes them quadratic

Post by MBear227 »

This bug (?) has been around a while. Attempting the join/split contours on cubic contours makes them quadratic but with the same off-curve point locations. The attached font file has the preferred outline format set to cubic, but I experience this in fonts where it's set to quadratic too. This even happens if under Options's Exchange tab, I set to Always convert to cubic. (Also union/intersection/exclusion/knife on the cubic shapes also turns them quadratic)

Oops, that is indeed not right. While looking into this, we also discovered the same issue occurs with split contour. We will have it fixed with the next upcoming update.
