Double Link Examples
Some examples of double link command usage:
Horizontal hinting of the Times ‘H’ character
There are two double links and two single links in this example. The double links set the width and
position of the two vertical stems and the single links align other points that are on the same stem.
Horizontal hinting of the Times “o” character
Double links are usually used to hint characters in the horizontal directions in cases where stem
position is not important. As you saw in the Single Links section we used single links to set
horizontal instructions in the ‘m’ character because we wanted to keep the distances between
vertical stems the same.
