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.
