ufostroker

Add path effects to open contours in a UFO file

Given a glyph with open contours:

You can apply a noodle effect:

ufostroker -i Open.ufo -o Output.ufo noodle --size 30

Or you can choose a glyph from the UFO with closed contours (in this case the star glyph) and apply a pattern-along-path effect:

ufostroker -i Open.ufo -o Output.ufo pattern -p star --spacing 30 --stretch true

Use ufostroker --help, ufostroker noodle --help or ufostroker pattern --help to see more options. (There are many.)

To build

• Install Rust (a nightly toolchain is required, typically with rustup toolchain install nightly)
• cargo build --release
• Find the binary in target/release
