Re: [Feature Request] Move only on-curve point

Thanks, Frank. Actually, I've been doing a lot of thinking lately about
Spiro and, having played around with it a bit, I really love the idea. For
myself, this isn't a problem and may be just what I need. For others, I can
see the lack of local control a bit of a deterrent.

Do you know of many people who are using Spiro to create fonts? I feel like
I've only ever seen the ones done by Raph Levien. It's a shame, really,
given the excellent tool that it is.
