Hello! I'm doing some work with an engraving machine and need to use special single-line stick fonts, instead of the usual closed-path outline fonts. Affinity (and most other graphic design software) doesn't play nicely with fonts that have open paths, so instead I'm using fonts that *look* like they're single-line, but are actually normal fonts where both sides of the outlined letter have been placed directly on top of one another. This works great, except that it produces a lot of unnecessary overlapping paths that are exactly the same - and then my engraver wants to cut the same area twice.
After converting the text to curves, is there a simple way (without manually selecting individual nodes) to automatically find & delete all duplicate lines in a project, or merge the redundancies into a single path, etc? I have both Photo & Designer, so suggestions for either are welcome.
Alternatively, is there any possibility that Affinity might add support for true single-line fonts? The OC font format discussed here would be perfect if Affinity didn't add closing lines to the letters: http://www.onelinefonts.com
Thank you!
