I am using this and this for reference. I am new for using UIBezierPath, and i want to draw path on character(letter) code i am using is as follow.

CGMutablePathRef letters = CGPathCreateMutable();

CTFontRef font = CTFontCreateWithName(CFSTR("Courier New"), 200.0f, NULL);
NSDictionary *attrs = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:CFBridgingRelease(font), kCTFontAttributeName,nil];
NSAttributedString *attrString = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"B"
                                                                 attributes:attrs];
CTLineRef line = CTLineCreateWithAttributedString((CFAttributedStringRef)attrString);
CFArrayRef runArray = CTLineGetGlyphRuns(line);

// for each RUN
for (CFIndex runIndex = 0; runIndex < CFArrayGetCount(runArray); runIndex++)
{
    // Get FONT for this run
    CTRunRef run = (CTRunRef)CFArrayGetValueAtIndex(runArray, runIndex);
    CTFontRef runFont = CFDictionaryGetValue(CTRunGetAttributes(run), kCTFontAttributeName);

    // for each GLYPH in run
    for (CFIndex runGlyphIndex = 0; runGlyphIndex < CTRunGetGlyphCount(run); runGlyphIndex++)
    {
        // get Glyph & Glyph-data
        CFRange thisGlyphRange = CFRangeMake(runGlyphIndex, 1);
        CGGlyph glyph;
        CGPoint position;
        CTRunGetGlyphs(run, thisGlyphRange, &glyph);
        CTRunGetPositions(run, thisGlyphRange, &position);

        // Get PATH of outline
        {
            CGPathRef letter = CTFontCreatePathForGlyph(runFont, glyph, NULL);
            CGAffineTransform t = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(position.x, position.y);
            CGPathAddPath(letters, &t, letter);
            CGPathRelease(letter);
        }
    }
}
CFRelease(line);

UIBezierPath *path = [UIBezierPath bezierPath];
[path moveToPoint:CGPointZero];
[path appendPath:[UIBezierPath bezierPathWithCGPath:letters]];

CGPathRelease(letters);
CFRelease(font);

NSLog(@"==> %@",path);

// Creates layer
CAShapeLayer *pathLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];
pathLayer.frame = drawingView.bounds;
pathLayer.bounds = CGPathGetBoundingBox(path.CGPath);
//pathLayer.backgroundColor = [[UIColor yellowColor] CGColor];
pathLayer.geometryFlipped = NO;
pathLayer.path = path.CGPath;
pathLayer.strokeColor = [[UIColor blackColor] CGColor];
pathLayer.fillColor = nil;
pathLayer.lineWidth = 3.0f;
pathLayer.lineJoin = kCALineJoinBevel;

[drawingView.layer addSublayer:pathLayer];

self.pathLayer = pathLayer;


// Add pointer
UIImage *penImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"hand.png"];
CALayer *penLayer = [CALayer layer];
penLayer.contents = (id)penImage.CGImage;
penLayer.anchorPoint = CGPointMake(0.35f, 0.98f);
penLayer.frame = CGRectMake(0.0f, 0.0f, penImage.size.width, penImage.size.height);
[pathLayer addSublayer:penLayer];
self.penLayer = penLayer;


CABasicAnimation *pathAnimation = [CABasicAnimation animationWithKeyPath:@"strokeEnd"];
pathAnimation.duration = 5.0;
pathAnimation.fromValue = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:0.0f];
pathAnimation.toValue = [NSNumber numberWithFloat:1.0f];
[self.pathLayer addAnimation:pathAnimation forKey:@"strokeEnd"];

CAKeyframeAnimation *penAnimation = [CAKeyframeAnimation animationWithKeyPath:@"position"];
penAnimation.duration = 5.0;
penAnimation.path = self.pathLayer.path;
penAnimation.calculationMode = kCAAnimationPaced;
penAnimation.delegate = self;

[self.penLayer addAnimation:penAnimation forKey:@"position"];

This code draws latter latter in double line like the image below enter image description here

instead i want to draw latter in single line like the image below enter image description here

and the hand should draw the lines on centre of the font and not the border.
