bassrun Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I am transitioning from InDesign to Affinity Publisher. I have an InDesign document that has text with a black stroke and green fill. The letters really pop! (I'm attaching a sample.) Is there any way to achieve this effect in Publisher? mpowell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h_d Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Hi @bassrun and welcome! Yes! Select the text and set the fill to black and the stroke to green in the Colour panel, then adjust the width of the stroke in the Stroke panel: I've pulled out the relevant panels so hopefully you can see the settings. You may need to display them using the View - Studio - menu. Cheers, H mpowell 1 Quote Affinity Photo 2.0.3, Affinity Designer 2.0.3, Affinity Publisher 2.0.3, Mac OSX 13, 2018 MacBook Pro 15" Intel.

(I'm attaching a sample.) Aside from the fact, that your sample is the other way around, ie black fill and green stroke, so it is more of a black font with a green outer shadow, which can be set in fx.

GarryP Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 To add to the answers already given, you can also set the fill and/or stroke of text using the Character Panel (Font Colour and Outline Colour). Also, you can give the text an outline using the Outline Effect via the Effects Panel. Attached is an example of some text with both an Outline Effect and a Dashed Stroke (it looks awful but you get the idea of what’s possible).

Robin gotha Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I have a large number of shapes in my design. How can I stop the outline and fill separating? Only by joining them individually in the layers palette? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Which Affinity application are you using? What do you mean by “large number of shapes”? E.g. What sort of shapes and how many do you have of each (don't need an exact number)? What do you mean by “stop the outline and fill separating”? E.g. How are they "separating"? What do you mean by “joining them individually”? Can you give us a full-screen screen-shot which shows (some of) the relevant layers in the Layers Panel and give us more information about what you are trying to achieve? Basically, show us what you can see and tell us why you think it's wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
