Best offset method for text


Recommended Posts

I seem to continually fight using the Expand Stroke to offset text.  When I add the separate strokes together, it also adds the "holes" in the letters, and it seems the only way to get what I want (say a 6 pixel offset both out and inside the text) is that I have to convert the text to curves, ungroup, expand the stroke, then take move the actual text, add the remaining stroke, divide to get the "holes" out, and subtract the holes.  There's gotta be an easier way.
