The code is almost there for glyphs, see:

http://vk5hse.blogspot.com/2016/06/outline-font-to-centreline-defined-font.html

and the source

https://github.com/erichVK5/outlineFont2centrelineFont

I hadn't turned my mind to applications involving circuit trace
analysis, but it is an intriguing idea.

Your thinking mirrors mine, in that I was thinking that my next crack
at refining the code would involve distinguishing between differing
segment types with something as simple as a range of line widths, and
then using pcb-rnd's search by attribute functions to select and
remove unneeded artifacts.

The code's not quite ready for prime time, but it's probably good
enough for me to have another go at the Hebrew font using
outlineFont2centrelineFont plus the techniques described in my first
email. I should also add the SVG path parsing code to the
translate2geda utility, to allow exotic board outlines to be more
easily created.

Cheers,

Erich.
