Expand Stroke still Bug

[hannah]

Hello!

Just here to offer a little workaround and an insight into a funny behaviour of affinity designer:

So far I only come across this problem when expanding the stroke of a font in order to make it look just a tiny bit bolder. so more often than not, the strokes I want to expand are less than a point to start with. her the results get very messy.

Strangely enough for a vector-program, when I scale the font (scaling the stroke with it), make it way bigger and then expand the stroke the results are good, or at least much much better. (meaning more letters are expanded well, less letters are faulty).

 

Good day!

Hannah

Hi hannah,
The issues described in this thread should already have been fixed in the latest version. If you are still having issues expanding both text or strokes do you mind attaching a sample file with the object in its original state (before expanding) for us to check out/add to our log to be tested against new/revised code/builds? Thank you.

I'm also experiencing issues when expanding strokes. Please see the attached images. The left side is the object with the stroke before expanding.

Edit: I'm on Mac OS X, and only now realized I posted to the Windows thread.

I was able to eliminate the unwanted artifact at the top center by deleting the nodes there, which also (strangely) eliminated the artifact at the bottom left. The unwanted notch at the bottom center still remains.

If you put on "Round Join" the ends of the lines will overlap and you won't have a gap.
