 Having come across this myself, I had devised
a method to correct it but until now, I never documented it, So here is my
effort in making an O or zero out of a large dot.
If you look, the center of the "O" is not present, I set this up deliberately
so I had to follow this through to completion |
 Knowing what I am going to do, I start
Softy and load the glyph into the TTF window. Now, in order to make
this work, I have to create a inner circle, but since this is to show you,
please, It will not be a perfect circle, just a circle detached from the
outer circle. |
 What I did here was to add a couple of
points to the outer circle by using the POINTS > SPLIT feature
and then proceeded to pull these points into the center of the outer circle.
I then deleted the point that is circled and pulled the two points that I
marked in red together. How you do it really don't matter, just that you
do it. I am sure you will find a different way depending on your circumstances. |

When you get one exactly over the other
you will get this dialog box pop-up and ask you if you want to split contour?,
to which I answered yes. This split the two points off the outer circle and
I now had the makings of the inner circle
Now, again using the POINTS > SPLIT
I added as many points as I thought I would need to make a circle
Now, with as many points as I needed, I
adjusted them around to make the inner circle look like a circle. When you
are satisfied, you need only to CENTER >UPDATE the glyph and then
save it back to disk
Well, you have seen what I started with,
this is how it was finished. I hope this is of some help to you. Most of
all, have some fun while you use this program. I find it serves my interests
and allows me to enjoy what I do with it.
