A not very informative screenshot.
In use not a great difference between any of the algorithm's except 1 is very fast. A value of 5 does indeed give a lot more control points. No great visual quality difference for this test between algorithms. I think you will find type 1 being the most used.
Yes, I suppose you are right. The result depends also on how densely the original path has control points. The few fonts I have happened to look at, seem to have excessively many control points.
If algorithm=1 works well, fine. If not, algorithm=2 may be enough. In difficult cases (post #12) algorithm=0 may be good to use. But it is nice to hear that you find it usable.
