• Applies to: TTF
• Fontspector can hotfix?: no

Rationale

Some rasterizers encounter difficulties when rendering glyphs with overlapping path segments.

A path segment is a section of a path defined by two on-curve points. When two segments share the same coordinates, they are considered overlapping.
