Stuck on an issue?

Lightrun Answers was designed to reduce the constant googling that comes with debugging 3rd party libraries. It collects links to all the places you might be looking at while hunting down a tough bug.

And, if you’re still stuck at the end, we’re happy to hop on a call to see how we can help out.

Some glyphs have been parsed with misplaced point at the start/end of the bezier curve, and so the glyph appears to be deformed. This mostly occurs when the closing point is on the curve (not in the corner) typically on O, or 0 glyphs, but also some others (depending on the font).

Here is an example of such misplacement within O glyph in Futura Condensed ExtraBold font. The character on the left is outlined in Adobe Illustrator. On the right there is this character processed by opentype.js using Glyph Inspector (http://opentype.js.org/glyph-inspector.html) with same font loaded.

Here’s a fairly rough patch I wrote to fix this, since I found similar problems with a lot of different fonts and it was driving me crazy.
