Wosven Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I converted text to curves,andlater tried to apply some stroke using the vector brushes, but the stroke wasn't applied correctly. I tried to: close the curve join the curve revert the direction Nothing corrected the problem. The only way to do this was to add a smaller curve with boolean operation. So, instead of keeping each character an individual form I could modify later, or spending an hour adding saller curves to each characters, I merge them, hoping I won't need to modify them. I tested with another document, to be sure it wasn't the original document that was bugged. bug_contour.afdesign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lepr Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Does this problem happen when a glyph from another font is converted to curves? I tried with a few fonts in my Mac version of AD and your problem didn't arise. By the way, you can correct that P-shaped curve by just clicking the Add button when the curve alone is selected - no need for the rectangle.

Wosven Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 It happens too with Arial. More tests: (I applied the stroke in the end to the first text lines) bug_strokes.afdesign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More tests: (I applied the stroke in the end to the first text lines) bug_strokes.afdesign Yep, the problem is happening in the macOS app, too. I had been trying brushes containing less elongated rasters when the problem wasn't apparent. I think doing the Add produces paths that are differently parameterised and so the transforming of the applied brush's raster content becomes different. The devs should maybe review the way they are parameterising paths produced from fonts. Brushes applied to text aren't being rendered correctly, although not nearly as badly as when applied to the Curve/Curves objects that are produced from text by Convert To Curves command.

Wosven Posted May 31, 2020 Author Share Posted May 31, 2020 And thanks for the tip about "adding" without second object! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowday Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 This is odd.

Staff Sean P Posted August 19, 2020 Staff Share Posted August 19, 2020 Hi Wosven, Apologies for the delay on this one. I've reproduced it and passed it on to development to be investigated, thanks for letting us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
