Just get those two lines closer together, so their end points overlap and - Voilá - there you go.. Connected lines..

Hym thanks for the advice! wow. so helpful
anyway, i tried to drag them on top of each other put they dont connect!
- formlos0
Well, They should.. ( Normally point 'a' automatically snaps to point 'b', if you move 'a' close enough to 'b'.. ) Maybe try to move the end point using the cursor keys..

i would like to exchange the hug for an answer on this question:
why don't you design your type in illustrator and and then import the vectors in fontlab?
- lara0
hym you're really pushing it..
- Hym0
i'm serious, there are great plugins for illustrator to aid in specific type design, they usually are aimed at CAD but they do the job on advanced type work too

hi hym,
at first it feels a bit strange, but once you get used to fontlab you will never go back to illustrator when it comes to typedesign... trust me!

Kwicky is a quiet one too, so to wrtie that he must be telling the TROOF!
