: Font Creator 6.0, how do I join points? I want this glyph to resemble a sort of elongated ^ shape (it was originally an accented A... Á). I've deleted its vertical bar, but now it's completely

I want this glyph to resemble a sort of elongated ^ shape (it was originally an accented A... Á).

I've deleted its vertical bar, but now it's completely filled in with black as you can see.



How can I just join those three points to form a ^?

Thanks

The program is trying to make a "cut" using the three interior nodes marked as red, but cannot complete the action because the cut is not inside the glyph.

Delete the 3 red nodes, make 3 new nodes along the bottom edge, and then drag them into position. You may be able to do this by only deleting the top-most red node and making just one new node at bottom-center to drag back up.

It is hard to tell, but it looks like you have three contours left. The accent and two that once represented the A. You need to have only two.

I think it is easiest if you start all over and make sure you don't remove points you wish to keep. The manual has a lot of information about how to manipulate points.
See the online manual: www.high-logic.com/fontcreator/manual7/simpleglyphsintroduction.html
Alternatively you can add points to the outer contour of the A, and remove the inner contour.
