Is there any font editor that has an option of showing glyph outlines thicker than one pixel?
I did a whole bunch of quick screen shots for an article I'm writing for a magazine. They want higher-res versions, which I can do... but taking a screen grab showing font outlines at one pixel wide and 2560x1440 (or even 3840x2400) and then reducing it to print sizes will result in a nearly-invisible hairline.
I could redo all my examples using Illustrator and stroked outlines with no fill. Just curious if there is another way.
(Modifying FontForge and recompiling it is not a reasonable option for this purpose, I don't think. Although I do appreciate that such would be an option with a libre app, which is cool.)

For Illustrator, I've previously used this script to turn make flat vector art that includes nodes and handles: http://www.jongware.com/binaries/drawArtHandles.zip (source: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/731731).
Or do you need the usual font editor UI, too?
Then put this line in the macro window and press Run:
Glyphs.currentDocument.windowController().window().print_(None)
(save PDF from the print dialog again)
In the end you have some pixelated screenshot that looks like original screenshots, that are, well, pixelated. It looks original without the need of changing anything like the stroke line.
