Composite glyphs can be constructed by combining two or more simpler glyphs. More complex glyphs can have two or more contours. A simple glyph may have only one contour.
SINGLE LINE FONT FOR SCAN N CUT SERIES
A glyph outline consists of a series of contours. In a TrueType font, glyph shapes are described by their outlines. It also documents the placement of glyphs with respect to the coordinate axes. This section describes the coordinate system used to establish the locations of the points that define a glyph outline.

This chapter includes an introduction to TrueType instructions and how they are interpreted. It begins with an overview of the steps involved in taking a design from paper to the creation of a bitmap that can be sent to an output device and follows with a closer look at each of the steps in the process.

This chapter introduces the basic concepts needed to create and instruct an OpenType font that contains TrueType outline data. In particular, the TrueType instruction set provides a powerful means of controlling glyph outlines at all or specific sizes and resolutions. When outlines are rasterized, TrueType “hinting” instructions contained in a font can be used to refine the rasterized results. OpenType supports the TrueType glyph outline format, in which a glyph outline is described as second-order Bezier splines.
