[Cutting text from text]

Thanks it worked. Tried recreating what you did and couldn't seem to (option button)compound subtract text from text. Until I noticed it was working but, for some reason removing the fill colour.

Now is there a way to mark this solved?

If you mean colours, I tried this Old Bruce, still not working. I also tried clipping/masking it in Photo without success.

[Cutting text from text]

I am attempting to cut the text "CUT THIS" from the letter F. I've converted both "CUT THIS" and F to curves, ungrouped CUT THIS, then used geometry add  to make CUT THIS one layer. When I try to cut CUT THIS from the F with geometry subtract I get the result on the left. I cannot click and pull away on the CUT THIS and when it is unselected the CUT THIS outline disappears. I've tried with XOR and Divide with no success.
