You can actually work with the same design. You just end up having
different curves and different points, drawing the same thing.
Tools like fontforge can convert from one to the other by simply using
copy/paste.
Soo draw with one, and do instructions with the other if needed.

I think tools like Fontlab actually only show you one type and
generates one way or the other depending on the output file.
