Appearance of 8

Hello,

I have a small problem with my 8 character in a new font. In Fontographer, the outlines appear fine and create a smooth curve, but when the font file is generated it does something to the 8 and gives it a weird corner. Comments welcome. Thanks.

You're not showing enough information in your screenshot. Provide a new image of the Fog window with the Preview off, turn on Show Points, and Select All so we can see the handles. Chances are it's related to either a stray point, or an unclosed path, or weird start point or something. Also, you might get better responses to a technical issue like this by posting in the Build forum. (But don't post twice -- maybe a moderator can move it for you.)

It looks like it has been sorted, I think it may have been a case of the 'weird start point' you mentioned. Thanks for your help mate!
