Hello,
I’m looking to thicken the overall typeface really simply (like I do in Illustrator, first screenshot)
Even with this simple shape, the stroke function results in this diamond, jagged abstract shape (second screenshot). The same result occurs with mekkablue’s Batch Set Path Attributes script.
I feel like I must be missing something really simple, but I’m unable to find the solution.
Any hints?
How does the original shape look like. And what exactly did you do to get this result?
You have opened a TrueType font with quadratic outlines. Select all glyphs and run these two commands:
Great, this was the issue! Now, when I apply the stroke, it automatically hollows out (creating an outline font). Is there a way to simply add the stroke width to the existing character (like in Illustrator). Thanks again!
There us a ‘Make Stroke’ checkbox. Uncheck it.
