I've been dealing with a TTF file and trying to draw an outline of a glyph
using OpenGL. I'm having a problem with the contours not connecting to
themselves (i.e. an "open" shape). I've attached a screenshot of what I am
getting. In it, the colored parts are the ends of the contours.

I noticed that the list of points in the outline had something that ended
with FT_CURVE_TAG_CONIC followed by another FT_CURVE_TAG_CONIC,
no FT_CURVE_TAG_ON to end the sequence.

According the the manual, there is an implicit FT_CURVE_TAG_ON between the
two FT_CURVE_TAG_CONIC's by a simple average and the outline code looks
decent so far, but without an ending FT_CURVE_TAG_ON, I'm not sure what to
do with the last FT_CURVE_TAG_CONIC in the outline. How should I handle
this?

Any help or pointers about this issue is appreciated!
