Model Sketch
When you're done with your rant, maybe you can share your model, or what you have so far, share some more details of what end result you're looking for and also provide a screencast so we can see how the software fails you. In general I would not that Fusion 360's sketch engine is more aimed towards traditional CAD and If you want to do vector graphics stuff it might be easier to to that with a dedicated app and import a .scg, or .dxf.
That is just using Fusion 360. I have been using Fusion 360 for almost 3 years now and have been using CAD for almost 30. Yes I read your rant. I asked you to share more details. You respond with a post that indicates your rant is still not over. Once its over maybe we can get on with business.
I don't know why you're having so much trouble creating a font. I made a screencast of my very first attempt at it and didn't have too much trouble 
Perhaps you too could share a screencast of how you're creating a font.

Hi,
Could you share a picture of the font you're trying to achieve
As @TrippyLighting said, we need more details about what you want to do, most of the people posting in the forums don't attach anything and just rely on words, so for us to help you my friend please attach some files
Regards

I was able to create what I needed but noticed a lot of things that were very... well flaky with the sketching in 360.
What I am doing is sketch tracing an image that has been placed as a decal onto a solid. What I am looking for is simple line's that I can trace in CAM for engraving. The actual features engraved will be very small.
Below you can see the original Decal image below the Sketch.
In the picture below you can see even with the selection filters set to sketch components only it still tries to project body edges.
With all selection filters off it still tries to use sketch component prediction.
Below is the Move/Copy dialog! With the elusive Copy ability. Sure you can CTRL-C but why not add a check box on the dialog to copy as well?
When doing a CTRL-C copy... This is the letter B consisting of two splines and strait lines.
This is a zoomed in shot of the vertex between the line and the spline.
This is the copied version? With an anomaly added. It seems to be dropping control point parameters or something during the copy process
Would be nice to have the ability to turn off point prediction snapping and auto constraint creation. Most of the time it is great but it can also be a major pain in the rear end.
There are other irritating and flaky little things as well but It is really not my job.... I am not getting payed to debug UI for Autodesk. Even though I am a huge fan.
Was just hoping someone was looking into fixing it up as 360 is an awesome tool.
Trying to do that sort of stuff with the sketch engine of a CAD application, particularly Fusion 360 is like pulling teeth.
I doubt we will see any vector graphics functionality in the sketch engine any time soon. Unfortunately!
Your best bet is to create this in a vector graphics application, maybe Gravit Designer or Inkscape and then import that into Fusion 360 as a .dxf or .svg file.
Hold down CTRL (Cmd on Mac) to suppress constraint inferencing while drawing sketch curves. But, you will have to let up on CTRL in order to infer coincident (to close the shape, or connect to another line).
