TrueType is based on quadratic Béziers. As I recall, Apple’s convention
was that, when you had two off-curve points in a row, you would
implicitly insert an on-curve point halfway between them.

[ft] 3, 4 or even 5 conic-off-points in row

2016-10-13 Thread Marcel Schneider
Hi,

I have problems with .ttf files. I have partly taken some from the windows
system folder, as for example "consola.ttf" (win10 / 64bit). But also from
the internet downloaded I have the same problem.

The problem is I have more than 2-conic-off, namely a start-and-end
conic-on-tag and 3, 4 or even 5 conic-off-points in between.

In the documentation such a format-protocol is not described.
But seems to be normal, which it in many .ttf files occurs.

I do not know how I should evaluate these conic segments.

thanks for your help
