simply Rm

THANKS!

I guess I will have to continue using inkscape, so excited about afd. thank you for that video that was much appreciated. the svg file you sent ,the bottom"beware" was the only one that opened up on glowforge, cricut could not open the file. Thanks anyways

I use design space for cricut, MTC does not work with cricut machines. I understand about curves/paths that is how the machine knows how to cut also being or converted to an svg. I am just confused that if it saves as a heavier font and it shows that way why on the file, is it not opening like that on the software whatever it may be...

Well first of all , Thank you for your time! The reasons to add weight to any font for use on a laser machines or blade machine is to get a better cut. Simply picking a font that is bold, does not really increase the weight for use in a cutter machine. I do use inkscape to do this type of procedure on fonts and it works, but Since I paid for affinity designer, I would like to try and learn this software, since I have heard great things about it. I guess what I can"t figure out is when you save the the file without have to go to layers and expanding it, why is it the file that it saves shows clearly a font that has been made heavier, but on the other end it does not open up with the enhance font. Is affinity designer not capable of doing this?

Ok, so I just did that exported as an svg and it still opens up normal weight is there another step that I have to do?

I also opened it up on my cricut, the file thumb print looks like a heavier weight but when it opens it on cricut it is of regular weight.

here is the file... test svg.svg

I am adding line weight to a particular font and convert it to curves on AD which shows up well on the screen, I then import it as an SVG...open it up on glowforge and it shows the font at regular weight. What step am I missing. by the way I am new to AD and glowforge. Thanks for the help!
