Cnc plugin for illustrator6/13/2023 The second line draws three lines with rlineto (relative line-to): (1.) from x=138, y=318 (this is where we left of at the “move-to”) 304 units to the right, and 10 down (2.) then 100 to the left and 94 up (3.) then 204 to the left and 10 up. A “move-to” instruction indicates the start of a path. The first line defines the width of the glyph as 600 units, then moves the first point of the path to x=138, y=318. A charstring is the literal definition of the glyph. Thing is, practically every interpreter implies a closepath instruction at the end of a charstring. Technically, all paths must be (and are assumed) closed in an OTF. The font will be used for a tool that draws letters similar to a pen plotter, some info about it is here: should be constructed (winding rules etc.) but it seems unbelievable to me that a font file would be unable to contain open paths. I am a programmer myself and understand how “correct” polygons holes etc. Is it possible to create a font like this with Glyphs? I’m thinking it is impossible, because of this statement in the Glyphs blog: “Did a whole path go missing in the final font? Perhaps it was open. So if I would use that font to type something in Illustrator, I would need to set ‘fill’ to nothing and ‘stroke’ to a certain thickness if I want to have it rendered correctly. What I mean is: a font that doesn’t contain any closed paths. I want to start using Glyphs to create single stroke fonts. I am checking out the trial version of Glyphs and it looks really good!
