Splitting line segments
If you want to split a path by splitting a line segment (rather
than by splitting the path at a point), select the knife tool,
and drag across the path where you want to split it.
Fontographer splits the path, creating two new points where
the knife tool crossed (or intersected) the path.
Joining points
When you want to connect a path to another by joining
points, as in instances where you are joining serifs and
stems, we recommend using the “Frankenstein”
approach—pasting your image together by joining points.
This can be especially useful if you want to copy the stems
from a serif typeface and add them to your sans-serif
