the glyph has more points when expanded in Illustrator, compared to the original glyph edited in fontlab. why?
In terms of curve definitions, there are two: cubic (PS)
and quadratic (TT). Most people design in the former, but
most actual fonts end up in TT format. Ideally you design
in the same curve definition model as the output format,
but most people never get comfortable (or bother getting
comfortable) designing in quadratics.
