Fontlab - how do you delete a segment between nodes?

russ_mcmullin

I haven’t found an efficient way to delete a single segment between two nodes. Is there a way to do it in one step?

You can click on the segment between the two points and hit ’delete.’

This leaves the points in tact, while removing the connecting segment. The result is an open contour.

To do this you have to set the preference: Glyph Window < Advanced < Edit/Delete command breaks contour

Hope that’s helpful!
