viewing as filled with ink

I explained the view of the mikdash maat that this gimel is posel רואין אותו כאילו נתמלאה דיו
All know the magen avraham that this aleph is kosher(either with or without scratching)
Rabbi Lindner posted the shaila on vav. We need to understand the difference of these two halachos to be able to rule on the vav.

    On the surface it would seem the difference is as follows:

    In the Yu"d of the Ale"f - there is supposed to be a kotz. At the very least, we recognize that place (the bottom left corner of a Yud) as a place where a kotz is appropriate.

    When it touches the Gag of the Alef, therefore, we view it as the Kotz which extended too long...

    However, in the other two cases depicted: there is no justification for a "kotz" in those places... therefore we view it as the outline of the actual letter i.e. as if its filled in...

Question to Yosef Chaim B

Thank you for commenting on my ink article. In your comment you stated: "Many poskim disagree... Many rishonim have clearly stated the use of our ingredients." Would you please be kind enough to teach us (so I can include it in the article) which Poskim and what exactly and where did they say that the עפצים וקנקנתום  type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן  that does not fail? We are not interested in biased פילפולים , or in those who said that  דיו עשן is not being used because it fails easily or because it was not known how to make good quality דיו עשן.  Nor are we interested in those who said to use  עפצים וקנקנתום וגומא ואין לשנות when they discussed specifically the עפצים וקנקנתום type of ink. We are interested to find out where and who (if any) said explicitly, based on sources, that the  עפצים וקנקנתום  type of ink is preferable over good quality דיו עשן , even when there is  דיו עשן  of good quality that does not ...
