Re: [fontforge-users] Where is the changeWeight code?

Well, it doesn't happen all the time, but occasionally I'll get extraneous
lines that didn't exist prior to changing the weight or glyphs that are no
longer closed (sometimes both). I've attached a before change, after change
(manually), and after change (python API). The glyph done manually ends up
not being closed in two places (look for the direction arrows) even though
there are two points in each of those places, but not connected. The glyph
done via python ends up making strange connections between the same four
points, but diagonally (at least it gets "closed", though).

What do you think? I've also attached a trimmed down sfd of just that glyph
for you to look at, if you'd like. The original (before) is definitely
closed, so I don't see any reason why it would end up NOT closed after
changing the weight (by +7 em-units). Guide layer: original; background:
after manually increasing weight; foreground: after automatically changing
weight (with python API).

Thanks,

-Abraham
