typeface.
To join points from open paths:
Drag an endpoint of one of the paths over an endpoint of
the other path.
Fontographer joins the paths.
In the example below, the curve point changed to a corner
point since Fontographer always tries to maintain the
original shape of the path.
Adding Serifs
For those instances where you might want to combine the
serifs from a serif typeface with your sans serif typeface:
1. Drag around an area to select the points you want
to copy (in your serif typeface).
2. Choose “Copy” from the Edit menu.
3. Choose “Paste” from the Edit menu to paste the
points into the new character (in your sans-serif
typeface).
4. Drag the selected path, until the points you want to
merge cover their coordinate points on the other
path or paths.
5. Release the mouse button.
Fontographer automatically joins the points and unites the
paths.
