I’m working on a variable font that that uses two identical overlapping square paths to “hide” the presence of a shape. I then slowly “reveal” the shape by decreasing the size of the top square across masters so that it becomes a counterform within the bottom square.
My issue is that when you overlap two identical paths with reverse direction to cancel one another out, on export you still get this flickering hairline around the border that displays differently in various settings but always seems to be there.
My question: is there a way to keep a shape totally “invisible” so that nothing at all will display? I’m open to all methods. Simply opening up the path does not seem to work. Thanks!
Hi There! I’ve tested in AI and on https://wakamaifondue.com/. Each displays differently though both incorrectly in terms of what I’m going for. I’m including my response to Georg below as it has screencaps of those tests at the bottom. As I’m mention below, saving a pdf from AI yields good results, but I do need this to function onscreen. Thanks!
UPDATE: I was able to (mostly) resolve this issue using bracketed masters, but would be very curious to hear any other ideas that come to mind. Thanks!
