Hello everyone,

I'm trying to draw single line font in drawbot as shown in the following example.

# draw text
fill(1)
rect(0,0,1000,1000)

B = BezierPath()
B.text('d', font='Hairline02-Regular',fontSize=400,offset=(180,200))
fill(None)
strokeWidth(10)
stroke(0,1,0)

drawPath(B)

I've highlighted in red a line that is automatically added by Drawbot (see here).
With some investigation, I suspect that it is caused by fonttools (see here).

Do you have an idea of how this can be fixed ?

Thanks a lot!

Hello everybody

I'm currently drawing a single line font (also called open path font, open line font, monoline font, etc) in Glyphs App (see the image #1 bellow). The experimental .ttf format export in Glyphs allows single line glyphs.

Does anyone knows if Drawbot can draw single line fonts and how ?

For now, I only get a closed path (image #2)

Thank you !
