Hello,
I'm currently trying to create a pixel based font and have created all of the required glyphs. I would now like to generate a ttf file; however, I get multiple "Self Intersecting" validation errors. I know that many of the outlines for my characters have overlapping corners, but since I want the characters to seem like they are made from squares/blocks/pixels, it seems necessary for me to do so. Example: ![]() I have gone ahead and generated the ttf file anyways and have tested the font and it seem to work. My questions are: - Is it alright if I ignore these errors and generate/use the font anyways? - Are there any possible issues that may arise from doing so? Thank you, TheScripts |
If the directions are set uniformly you shouldn't see basic rendering problems but you may see more subtle issues On Jun 28, 2016 2:45 PM, "TheScripts" <[hidden email]> wrote:

Thank you for the response.
I've done a fair bit of testing with the generating font and haven't seen any issues; so I'm happy enough with the results and am fine with ignoring the errors. |
