Hello,
I am trying to use corner components for serifs/terminals on rounded shapes such as e c s G C etc.
I’d like to have a sort of terminal sliding /adapting to my curve automatically.
Unfortunately nothing seem to work.
With Corner components I can get some basic things but only on orthogonal placements.
Anyone has a tutorial other than the official ones on how to achieve this, or cap components are not intended to connect to different curves?
thanks 
Can you post a screenshot or a sketch of what you are trying to do?
sure!
no matter of how I placed origin, left, right. I could’t have it work.
I tried also on a simple node (got rid of the overlap), was slightly better but not aligned with the curve of the c.
On the upper side I used a CAP component, but with Origin only, otherwise I couldn’t get it to work on other letters (a s G)
What exactly are you trying to achieve by using corner components? Is this not something for cap components instead?
it should, but cap components break as my 2 points are not orthogonality aligned.
And I can’t set a Cap component to 2 points generated by crossing of paths like in my case.
What are you trying to achieve? Is this for interpolation purposes?
yes, a variable font
And to check how far I can push complex components types
Without an explanation of what exactly you are trying to do, it’s going to be hard to help. Can you give more details? Maybe there is a better solution or a different method to achieve your goal.
I’d like to understand if I can use a Corner Component to set terminals (= curvy path connecting to a curve). With straight paths (classic serifs) it’s easy. but I cannot achieve the result with curves.
You can use caps. Use one “origin” anchor and the “X” alignment in the cap settings.
Thanks Georg! Didn’t understood it can work without the left/right anchors too.
just one thing I see:
Given this corner component
When attaching to a virtual node, I have this bug
It doesn’t happen when I connect it to a simple node.
I don’t think the open corner is useful here. But also, for me it works. Can you send me the file?
Done, sorry for the delay
