Propagate anchors in glyphs2ufo

schriftgestalt opened this issue · 0 comments

It is very difficult to not propagate anchors. As far as I can see, the --propagate-anchors command line option doesn't make a difference as it is on by default anyway.

(some comments from Cosimo:

I’ll add an --no-propagate-anchor option.

But is it really needed to be on by default for the CLI tools? I understand it is useful to have for the fontmake pipeline, but when converting the file manually, I would aim for a cleaner/roundtripable conversion? And we have the CML argument to enable it already.

And isn’t the anchor decomposition needed for a purely ufo based workflow, too? So the decomposition could be moved into fontmake/ufo2ft?
