As I recall, you should write a type 1 font so that 'outside' paths
run counter clockwise, and 'inside' paths run clockwise. This is a
'must' in the type 1 font format, and some programs may not work
properly if this is not the case. Paths 'should not' overlap, not
because they will be filled wrong, but because (as with the first
rule), it allows charpath and stroked fonts to work consistently.
