I have designed a font that uses over 1000 points in each character.
If I use the Object> Path> Simplify
It completely destroys my design.
Any suggestions on how to make it so it can be imported in fontself?
Thanks
PS I also have trimmed and merged everything I could in each character.
Hi Saba,
Your best bet is to invest in a very good plugin for illustrator call Vector FirstAid by Astute Graphics which will remove all unnecessary nodes without changing the shape of the font you have so it becomes manageable for Fontself to create a clean font.
Thank you very much.
You are very welcome. Time to time Astute Graphics runs an awesome sale, sign up for their newsletter, you will receive info on their special sale. I own entire set of Astute Graphics Plugins for Illustrator. A real timesaver.
Hey, just posting for reference a couple approaches to optimize complex shapes, with Illustrator’s own Simplify tool (setting Curve Precision to 100% and 0° Angle Threshold) and two plugins from Astute Graphics, the promising & powerful Astui and the easy VectorFirstAid.
