In reply to How many bezier points should be used:
Also Going through some typefaces, I found out that some people join the bezier handles. What is the reason behind this? And also I noticed in SBL Hebrew, designed by John Hudson, all open handles of all BCPs are joined to each other. and sometimes this joining touches the curve and manipulates it even though the point it touches has no BCP there(please find the image). What is happening here? Is this just a personal workflow thing? I asked John about this but I also want to know what you guys think.

Clik here to view.
In reply to CELINE:
thanks a lot :)
In reply to How many bezier points should be used:
I'm not sure but I think you might be talking about quadratic (TT flavor) béziers, which have one BCP for each curve. Cubic béziers (PS style) have the "traditional" two BCPs per curve.

@hrant:
Just like we're brainwashed into thinking death is the ultimate defeat. Those are counter to human nature.
Human nature doesn't tend to go too high on the Maslow hierarchy when what is below hasn't been taken care of... which is the case for the vast majority of humans.
So for most of us, these are the three basic goals:
- stay alive
- have kids
- keep them alive
with being safe and comfortable and having fun also important along the way.
Dealing with what stands in the way of that, especially for other people, is a loftier goal, but still one that is understandable.

You're breaking my heart.

What do you mean, "feedback"? I wasn't talking about feedback at all!

If you weren't leading off from my "feedback mechanism" suggestion, what were you leading off from?

In reply to Ildewild:
Actually, there is a lower case.
(Not the same thing as minuscules.)
In Idlewild, majuscule glyphs appear in both upper and lower case, same size relative to the em.
So, there is no caps-with-small-caps effect.

DiSH>> ... ask yourself in how many fonts you've ever wanted to change just a few wordstopping characters ...
hrant> For some weird reason though that seems to happen almost exclusively with free fonts...
What I would really like to know how right now anyone can equate tinkering with feedback. My working assumption is a brain glitch.

thanks you very much
In reply to Open source typefaces:
So you're saying open-source free fonts invite tinkering because they suck, and we're supposed to be happy about that? Were you on the team that made the Chevy Corvair?

Marc: Yes, I've been watching the development of your typeface. It's really coming along.
Kent: Nice! I assume the l/c g will get a little darker, eh? (Could be the image)
