[Devel] outlines

[John Schuch - ID]

Hello all,

I have done a lot of reading as I am new to all of this, but I have yet to
find any real comprehensive information about
outlines. For example, each point in an outline has an associated tag, and
that tag has some meaning for the point. Are the
conic/cubic tag on/off the only important values for a tag?  And if this is
so, why are there more than 3 possible values for
tags as I have seen when reading font info from a font file? Also, if
somebody could point me in the direction of some good
information on how to construct outlines based on point info, I would
greatly appreciate it. So far it eludes me as to how to know
to jump to a point without drawing a line to it, for example.

Thanks,
