IIRC subsequent complex to simple poly conversion can leverage existing capabilities in the code base. regards, Erich On Thu, 17 Sep 2020 03:05 , <gedau@igor2.repo.hu> wrote: > > > On Wed, 9 Sep 2020, Erich Heinzle wrote: > > >Finishing off the truetype (quadratic beziers) and/or opentype (which also > >has cubic beziers) font support would be cool.
