HersheyScript1 glyphs don't form continuous strokes
I'm using these fonts through Inkscape an vpype, using the mergelines command, but I find that many glyphs don't merge and are even drawn as multiple segments within each glyph.
For example, the o doesn't seem to have an incoming stoke so the plotter lifts the pen and draws it from the top, and the downstroke of the d isn't a continuation of the upstroke but rather a separate line.
This is unlike HersheySans1, which for example draws the t in one long stroke by doubling back on itself.
I'd be happy to try to update the script font in a similar manner. What tools can I best use for this?
