Incompatible paths when coping and scaling paths to .sups

Hi,

I try to make superscript glyphs with Python, but sometimes copied and scaled paths are incompatible. Take a look at R.sups:


In the bold Master the first serif is switched with the leg. In Light and Regular everything is OK.
Serifs are made of components in R.

OK I removed .correctPathDirection() from the code and now paths are compatible.
However, I don’t understand why this function makes path incompatible. Should do the opposite thing :slight_smile:

The method correctPathDirection() tries to reorder paths to give them the same structure. But that fails here and there.
