Both the type1/cff and the glyf formats specify winding-rules for marks
and counters.

But note that thay are te opposite of each other.

In Type1, counter-clockwise windings are filled and clockwise windings
are open.  That is to say that the left side of any path is to be filled.

SFNT/glyf fonts do it the other way.
