Hmm. Simplify should handle duplicate points. Gimme a test case.


I've generated a test case.  The original a is attached as Testa.sfd.  When
I run the script fonttopfb.ff (which essentially just contains a simplify
command), then an extra point is added at the top of the curve. The output
is in Untitled1.pfb.  The version of FontForge that I'm using is 20070501,
the rpm from your site.

However, when I do simplify from within the GUI, simplify works as
expected.  Should I be passing some flags to simplify when calling from a
script?  None of the flags listed in the documentation seemed like they
should make a difference.

As a quick aside, is there any way to either get the date in a FontForge
script, or to run a shell command and capture the output as a string (like
the way backticks work in shell scripts)?

Thanks!
Stephen
