Creating Contours
FontLab has two commands that can help you automatically create
contours. These commands are Expand strokes and Make parallel path.
Both commands will take one or more existing contours and create new
ones using some options.
Expand Strokes
This command will use contours as a trajectory for the paintbrush:
Source open contour
Stroke is expanded with the shaped brush
To use this operation first select the contours to which you want it to
apply. All contours that have at least one node selected will be processed. If
nothing is selected, the whole glyph contour will be taken.
