Add Extra Anchorpoints

2

Only for circles? Rotate 45 degrees and add extremes, then rotate back if you like.

Or in the middle of all segments of all sorts of shapes? That is a task for a script:

for thisPath in Layer.paths:
	# step backwards through nodes so we do not mess up point indexes:
	for thisNode in thisPath.nodes[::-1]:
		if thisNode.type != OFFCURVE:
			# on-curve index + 0.5 is the center of the segment:
			pathTime = thisNode.index+0.5
			thisPath.insertNodeWithPathTime_(pathTime)

(Sidenote: Please use the term on-curve because anchor means something else in fontmaking land.)
