I have removed the default helper path highlighting for paths with the Spiro effect
How do we want this to work? Now I actively disable helper path highlighting and handles showing. (this does not yet update the togglebuttons) Should it actively do this (I think yes), or should it respect the current preferences?
I have created about a dozen letters of a new font with this new toy, in a few hours of work, and they turned out incredibly nice and easy. I don't know how long it would take me to do the same with Beziers - most likely I would have quit, frustrated, after a couple letters. Beziers are really clumsy and inconvenient once you get used to Spiros :)
I tried a bit and they do work nicely, although a but funky while sometimes moving a node only a small distance can dramatically change the result path. Maybe we can implement more splines like this? For example, B-splines or more standard interpolating splines?
