[[qanda:topic_solved]] Why are some start points becoming "2"? How might I fix it efficiently?

frederik — Fri, 27 May 2022 08:13:00 GMT

With UFO the starting point (first point in the contour list of points) is not always a on curve point. As a UFO just makes a loop. The symbol for direction of a contour looks very strange when its attached on a off curve point. So yes after 40 years being one, you'll have two now! This change in the recently in RF4.2. And is important to visualise the data correctly. The conversion between quad/cubic should maintain the startpoint if it was an on curve. (an issue to fix is being made)

Some glyph data isn’t showing up in RoboFont

roberto arista — Fri, 27 May 2022 07:32:32 GMT

I tried both .glif in RF and they work fine. Was it maybe a sync issue with git? Did you have to solve any diff conflict?

The file in your bin folder is a symbolic link to a file inside the app bundle. If you remove the app the symbolic link will not work anymore...

Make sure you have the unicodes set, not only the glyph name. Or use uni or u see the GlyphOrderAliasDatabase spec: http://adobe-type-tools.github.io/afdko/MakeOTFUserGuide.html#glyphorderandaliasdb-goadb
