All those alignment features are indeed missing. I just copy and paste it to Illustrator, make the adjustments there and copy it back again.
Make sure you have an Illustrator document that is compatible to your font metrics:

Bummer :(

Activate the ruler tool. Hold control, drag a ruler between the points, release the mouse button, and use the resulting pop-up window to create a guide 50% between the two points. Place the point on the guide and then delete the guide.

Or just write a robofab script that measures the selected path segment and inserts a point along the way.

Thats a good tip with a ruler - thanks!

Fog had the simplest and most flexible tool for this. Select one, two or x number of points, type cmmd-= and the reference point jumped to the middle of the selection.

To damn elegant for FL, I guess.

?

Fog = Fontographer
FL = FontLab

David, do you know if they retained that functionality in the latest version of Fontographer?

CorelDraw's solution is even more elegant: simply select a nodes with the Node Tool and hit the plus sign on the numeric keypad. CorelDraw inserts a perfectly centered node following the selected point based on contour rotation...

>David, do you know if they retained that functionality in the latest version of Fontographer?

Yes, cmmd-B.

Cool. Now, if only Adam would jump on and say that this had also been adopted for the no doubt imminent release of FL 5.05!

Why would they do that? How could they sell fog of FL does everything fog does?

David:
1) Price difference.
2) People who never got comfy with FL and would like to go back home.

hhp

#2 Yup!

3) There are simply some things FOG does better than FL.
